Snowboarding

Snowboarding is a extreme winter sport where a person is attached to a board. It is inspired by surfing and skateboarding. There are four main areas of competition:

1. Boarder cross - where four boarders race down the mountain. 

2. Slope style - a boarder goes through a terrain park full of jumps and all different kinds of hits and depending on how they do is how well there score is. 

3. Half pipe - a carved half pipe into the mountain (similar to skateboarding) where the boarder will go down and jump out of the pipe and perform tricks. 

4. Racing - Boarders go down a mountain cutting through gates to get the best time.
