Freesport Activities Information about Snowboarding holidays with BoardnLodge.com
| Snowboarding has developed massively from its lowly beginnings as the bastard child of a three way love triangle involving skating, surfing and skiing. These roots are relevant today in the division in equipment and mind set between the Freeride and Freestyle. Freeriding is more akin to surfing, reaching its ideal state in fresh snow deep in the back country. Freestyle is the technical side of the sport based on tricks performed in jumps, rails and in parks. The division is increasingly blurred nowadays though with riders aspiring to technical moves in all environments and conditions. Now a multi-million dollar industry and an Olympic sport snowboarding retains its original appeal - its all about you, your kit and the mountain. |
