SNOWBOARDING

Snowboarding is returning to Vermont!  In 2002 there were only 2 snowboarders, but this year is promising a big comeback. 

 

Snowboarding is not only one of the newer sports within the Olympic movement, but within Special Olympics too. Snowboarding was adopted by the International Olympic Committee as an Olympic sport in 1994, with an inaugural Olympic competition in 1998 in Nagano, Japan — the site of the 2005 Special Olympics World Winter Games.

 

The physical demands of this fast-paced sport are challenging for any athlete. At a minimum, snowboarding requires a combination of quick reflexes, good balance and strong physical fitness.
