The Thrills & Spills Of Extreme Snowboarding
For the More Advanced
Extreme snowboarding is a type of free ride snowboarding that is conducted over rough terrain. It frequently encounters obstacles such as ravines, cliffs, rock gaps, deep snow and many other types of obstacles one would find in a mountain environment. Extreme snowboarding is often tackled by riders with some advanced experience after they have already mastered such beginner opportunities as marked trails and gentle slopes. Backcountry snowboarding is often conducted in the wild and frequently has no patrols, lifts or other modern conveniences. This type of environment is often well suited for the aerial stunts and rides that many advanced riders like to perform. The extreme terrain of this type of snowboarding can also certainly add an element of thrill and risk.
