Snowboarding Vs. Skiing

Snowboarding Vs. Skiing

Introduction

I am writing this report to compare and contrast snowboarding and downhill skiing. Snowboarding is a winter sport that includes just one piece of equipment – a snowboard. The snowboard is to be strapped to a person’s feet, and then they are sent down a snow filled slope.  Skiing on the other hand requires more equipment.  You need special boots, skis, and poles.  You put on your ski boots, strap them into the skis, and grab onto the ski poles and try to make it down the same hill as the snowboarder. In this report, I intend to cover many aspects of both skiing and snowboarding through my comparisons and contrast.  I intend to cover their history’s, their levels of difficulty, their images, and follow up these aspects with a conclusion.

History
History of Downhill skiing

Remnants of skis found in Norway and Sweden date from more than 4,000 years ago. Skiing began to assume its modern form in the mid-19th century, when the Norwegians developed bindings that greatly improved control over the skis and made it possible to jump and turn. The Nordic events as they are known today date from this period. Reports of the use of
