			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s nearly impossible to get a family to agree on a vacation spot that pleases everybody. Dad enjoys winter sports, while Mom thinks she&#8217;ll be stuck inside the warm cabin for a week. Sister wants to go on nature hikes, while Brother wants to cheer on the football team. The Great Smoky Mountains are here to help! Whatever your holiday hopes, adventure, nature, shopping, and activities both indoors and out await you&#8211;all year round!</p>
<p>Winter lovers flock to the mountains, and the Smokies are no exception. Opportunities for skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, and other cold-weather sports abound in the Smokies. The moderately cold weather averages about 39.2 degrees farenheit in the peak season of the snow peaks. Most shops and attractions stay open during the winter months, although some adopt fewer operation hours. But the winter holiday season really gets going in late November to early December starting with the Great Smoky Arts and Crafts Community Holiday Arts &amp; Crafts Show. The Gatlinburg Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade draws thousands of visitors&#8217; attention to the seasonal decorations and shopping adventures throughout the region. Most winter weekdays during the winter are peaceful in the Smokies, except for the bustling holiday season from late December through New Year&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p>With melting snow and budding trees comes spring in the Smoky Mountains, and while chilly nights give way to cool days, amazing opportunities arise to witness the breathtaking bounty of nature. Beginning in March, wildflowers bloom, waterfalls cascade, and wildlife emerge from hibernation. Spring fever fully hits in March with the annual Holly and Shamrock Parade and the Smoky Mountain Springfest, which runs from March to June. April boasts Ribfest &amp; Wings, the Smoky Mountain Trout Tournament, and the annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimmige. The Gatlinburg Scottish Festival and Games is in May. Area parks adopt an abbreviated schedule during the spring, so check the hours before booking your trip.</p>
<p>But since most families take vacations during the Summertime when the kids are off of school, late June through early August are the busy times in the Smokies. Outdoor activities abound in the warm weather, and families make time for their time, this time. Theme parks are in full swing, and the lakes and rivers beg for whitewater rafters and flyfishermen. Don&#8217;t let the occasional mid-afternoon shower deter you, the shops and outlet stores open for extended hours. Some summer festivals include June&#8217;s Smoky Mountains Tale and Tunes, July&#8217;s Midnight Independence Day Parade and Gatlinburg&#8217;s Craft Fair.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px;font-size:80%;"><img alt="Snowboarding" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3577/3344864199_35aae27fc8_m.jpg" width="160"/><br/> </div>
<p>Snowboarding is an adventure sport, much younger than surfing, skateboarding and skiing. Its history runs back to the 1960s, when this sport was developed in the United States, after conceiving inspiration from the predecessors of this sport. It is an item in the Winter Olympics too. Just like skiing, surfing and skateboarding, snowboarding also involves moving at good speed. The surface is snow and the movement is downward from a snow covered hill or mountain top. The rider can balance himself/herself on a snowboard, jumping over the hillocks and performing amazing stunts while in the air.</p>
<p>
<p>It requires special skills and courage to take up snowboarding. The rider has to wear protective cloth to ensure protection against the ice cold weather. If you choose the location right, snowboarding is not a risky sport. It is an adventure sport, but not riskier than similar forms of sport, which have ocean waves and solid ground as surface. The technique has to be right, so is the selection of snowboards.</p>
<p>
<p>Snowboarding has been served by quite a few companies that designed strong, reliable snowboards, which guarantee better stability and pace for snowboarding. The main equipment is the snowboard, which is attached to the boots. The early history of snowboarding goes back to 1965, when Sherman Poppen designed Snurfer, which was essentially a skateboard without wheels. Then in the 1970s and 80s, much innovation was brought into the designing of snowboards. Slowly, ski resorts became open to the idea of opening their space for snowboarders and there began the history of snowboarding.</p>
<p>
<p>Free ride, freestyle and free carve are the main styles of snowboarding. They all are adopted at varying pace by snowboarding enthusiasts. In freestyle, you can find manmade obstacles placed in the path and the snowboarders manoeuvring over the obstacles with much agility and flexibility. Seeing the action is quite an interesting thing, with the riders going past at a good speed and performing gravity defying stunts.</p>
<p>
<p>Snowboarding enthusiasts also should observe the safety precautions to be safe. Protective gear are designed in good numbers. Goggles are a must to ensure protection to eyes and to prevent temporary blindness from happening, especially in a bright day. Essential protection needs to be given to the wrists, knees, head, shoulders, etc. The key thing is to be able to identify the origin of an avalanche. Also be alert enough not to trigger an avalanche. Emergency response at time of an avalanche about to happen is also a key skill required by snowboarders.</p>
<p>
<p>Snowboarding as an adventure sport has got the attention of several publications and now there are several magazine available out there, solely for the purpose of telling you about snowboards, safety gear and snowboarding holidays.</p>
<p>
<p>Nobody knows why snowboarding was invented so late. It doesn&#8217;t matter, once people get used to snowboarding, it is one smooth ride. All the beholders enjoy a snowboarding competition event, where the riders pace down the terrains, go up in the air and perform various tricks, while ensuring a safe, comfortable landing.</p>
