In the winter,skiing is traditionally a popular sport for people of all ages who like to be outdoors.People take their ski equipment and head for the mountains.But these days,skiers are not the only people on the hills.Snowboarders are joining the skiers for some winter thrills.Snowboarding is fun and exciting.It is like surfing on the snow.Snowboards are wide,like surfboards,and there are places on the boards to strap them to your feet.You stand on the board and ride the snow like the surfers who ride the ocean waves.Snowboarders move back and forth in wide curves.Snowboarders like to jump and turn as they speed down the mountains.

    The first people to try snowboarding were young people in their teens and twenties.They liked the new sport because it was fast and challenging.They could do special tricks on the board,such as turning over or jumping over bumps in the snow.These young snowboarders wore special clothes and used a special vocabulary to talk about their moves.For example,they called themselves“shredders”because they would shred,or tear up the snow as they moved.When snowboarding first started,skiers did not like the young“shredders”.The skiers didn't like the snowboarders' fast and unusual movements.Sometimes,snowboarders damaged the ski paths and made it dangerous for the skiers coming down the mountain.Skiers didn't understand the language and the attitude of snowboarders.Some ski resorts banned snowboarders and didn't allow them on the hills,because of the skiers' complaints.

    But today,things are different.Snowboarding is becoming more and more popular.Some people think that in the next 5 years,50 percent of the people who visit ski resorts will be snowboarders.Now snowboarders can compete internationally because it has become an Olympic sport.And it's no longer a sport that's just for the young.Now when you visit the ski slopes,you'll see people of all ages who are learning to snowboard.For example,there are lessons for mothers and business people.The average age for people who are learning is forty,and the number of people trying the sport is up 200 percent.Now ski resorts welcome snowboarders to share the hills with skiers.
