Snowboard

I heard a satisfying click as I secured my boots to my snowboard. The wind ripped at my back while I stood at the peak of the hill, overlooking the lodge. I took a deep breath and pushed off the bench. My snowboard glided effortlessly across the soft white snow, and I came upon the edge and drifted over it. Suddenly, the wind blasted my face as I sped down the hill. The grind of my board against the rough ice below the thin layer of powdery snow was delightfully crisp as I veered left and right…

it would be as simple as turning the board with your feet. This knowledge did not translate well to snowboards, and as I attempted to turn right on the beginner’s slope, I fell backwards into the snow with a loud, audible THUD! As it turns out, turning on a snowboard requires you to apply pressure on the board with both feet in the desired direction you want to turn; this method causes the snowboard to carve a deep ridge in the desired direction you want to travel, which allows you to complete a…

me up the hill. As I go up I see other people going down, skiing and snowboarding. I feel the strong wind and my face is numb. I hear people talking on the lift behind me. I see the point where you get off coming up and I put my foot on the snowboard and when I get there I slide off of the chair.…

the lift, but first I had to go and get my purple and black snowboard. After I had my snowboard in hand I walked outside. While I was making my way up to the lift, my stomach was flipping 100mph and I saw all of the kids struggling to get on the lift. I was praying to God that I would not fail while trying to get on the lift. My cousin and I had to wait in the longest line , and by the time it was our turn my feet ached from the snowboard boots. I saw the lifts fly past me; I knew I had to pull…

The winter sport I have found interesting to talk about is snowboarding. Before you snowboard, you must have the right gear such as a snowboard helmet, gloves, goggles, padded shorts &/or pants, Body Armor, wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads. In three decades, snowboarding has exceeded in popularity and became the most known of all winter sports. Along with…

In 1964 a young surf freak called Sherman Poppen was dreaming about surfing the magic winter landscape of the Rockies. As a consequence, he built a surfboard for the snow. His first prototype was an about 1,20 m long plastic plank: two kids' skis bolted together. It was a present for his daughter Wendy which soon was a winner in the neighbourhood.

My parents rent skis and I rent a snowboard and sign up for lessons; I still wasn't that good at snowboarding. We part ways promising that we would meet up halfway through the day to ski / snowboard as a family. With the snowboard attached by 1 foot, I do an awkward shuffle to the training grounds, rode up the hill and met up with my training group. After Several hours of colliding…

face as I got my gloves on and grabbed my snowboard.”Let’s get going before it gets too windy!” yelled my dad. I could see my little sister clip her ski bindings on, ready to go on the gondola. As we were on the gondola, I could see the views of the mountain. I could see the tall, green trees covered in a huge dust of snow. The trees looked like Christmas trees without any decorations. The snow on the mountain was fluffy and white, waiting for me to snowboard on it. I could feel the wind blowing…
