Snowboard blog 9

The month of December has finally come around. This means that snow is on the way and so are the icy temperatures needed for this great sport. In the last few weeks, snow has been seen but only in light flurries. The end part of this week is looking up with lows in the mid 20's and chances for snow.
I can't wait for this season to start. Good snow is expected this season and that means that the terrain parks will be up and running earlier. Since this is what all of my friends and I do I'm hoping these early season predictions are correct. Terrain parks are not just your basic slopes. They offer more of a challenge with jumps, boxes , and rails. In the terrain park the goal is to look steezy and do sick tricks with good friends.
Another type of riding is all mountain. This type of riding is mostly unavailable in Ohio due to the lack of vertical drop or height of the hills. With this style a large hill or mountain is needed or it gets boring quickly. In all mountain riding, the goal is to go fast down the mountain and just flow with the ride.

Another type of riding is racing. again, this is quite uncommon in Ohio because of the size of the hills. These race courses can consist of gates or a boarder x type course.
No matter what type of snowboarding people think is the best the main goal is to have fun. I think of snowboarding as one of the only ways to make the winter season fun.
