The Back Story:
The Snowboard Revolution
Snowboarding was the fastest growing sport in the US in the year 2000, with the number of enthusiasts rising to just over 7.2 million world-wide. Five years later there was an estimated 5.2 million snowboarder visits to ski areas in the US alone. The highest increase being female snowboarders. Sparking a revolution in the ski industry, snowboarding helped to inspire ski manufacturers to make shorter, more maneuverable skis, with deeper sidecuts. Surprisingly, there are ski resorts in the untied States that still do not allow snowboarding on their slopes.
