 Snowboarding
Grinding, cutting and carving out a niche for itself, snowboarding has fast become one of the most popular winter sports in Utah. While similar to downhill skiing, the sport really takes its inspiration from skateboarding and surfing. It has been featured prominently in the Winter X-Games for years, and became a Winter Olympic sport in 1998. Snowboarder culture has its own fashion trends and a lingo that is truly unique.
