When one thinks of all of the innovations which have come within the snowboarding community, they can’t help but realize that the sport has redefined on-mountain culture. No more uppity skiers ruling the slopes. Snowboarders made sure that the mountain is a place for all colors and creeds… even though snowboarding is just as expensive as skiing and still consists of a bunch of white people sliding around in the freezing cold. But hey, they are pioneers!
From bamboo snow equipment to snowboard painting, check out all of the innovations for snowboarders.
