The world of sleek, wet, and powdery snow being comquered by an individual riding a single, wide board for anything from speed to acrobatic tricks. The individual snowboarders are any age willing to risk their thrills gliding down the mountain. Younger people are more willing to try the tricks and many are hurt by the speed and naivete of the snowboarder. Boards are similar to the surfboards used in the coastal regions for surfing with one obvious difference: snowboards are for the slopes of snow covered mountains usually within the grounds of known ski resorts. The best way to know your own skills is to start with the proper instruction then build up a group of fancier jumps and tricks. Last of all, practice care and safety when boarding in a strange area. Other skiers and boarders are usually within sight and need respect. Snowboarders can get lost if wandering in unknown territory of the mountains and avanlanches are avoided if one practices caution rather than thrillseeking.

Snowboards are not just flexible boards. They are curved and shaped to fit a particular individual just as skies are matched to the skier; snowboards are fit to the boarder. The boot fsteners are stabilizer mounts for the rider but will break away in case of a fall or unusual movement. The colors of the boards are as individual as the boarder with many paint colors and marks to identify the individuality of the boarder. One would think that color matching and outfits would be ideal but in the modern world, many snowboarders mismatch and colide colors just to hit the slopes.
