snowboard
Mountain descent board
A snowboard is a wide board ridden down snowy slopes, with both feet strapped in sideways—distinct from skis, where feet face forward.
To snowboard is to ride one: We're going snowboarding this weekend.
The sport emerged in the 1980s and became an Olympic event in 1998.
