airboarding

It’s called airboarding, a misleading name because there’s no board involved — precisely what makes it so sweet.

One designated airboarding trail, 2 to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

(Once you’ve had instruction, subsequent airboarding passes cost $20 for two hours of riding.)

Other activities include Airboarding, Snowscoot and Sledging.

“I’m going airboarding.”

Airboarding was invented in the 1990s by Joe Steiner of Switzerland, who injured his leg while snowboarding (surprise) and wanted a safer way to get the thrill of the hill.

Airboarding is also becoming big with “thrill seekers and the young at heart” at terrain parks like the one at Canaan Valley Resort in West Virginia, said Joseph Darmofalski, the resort’s snow sports director.

Dort können Sie neue Sportarten erlernen, Ihre Technik verbessern und sogar etwas neues wie Schnee-Sphering, Extremrodeln, Airboarding und Schneescooting (nein, wir wissen auch nicht, was das ist!)

Perfektionieren Sie Ihr Geschick im Slalomfahren auf der 180 Meter langen Echtschnee-Piste im Chill Factore oder versuchen Sie sich im Extremcarven, Rodeln, Airboarding, Tubing und dem Rennrodeln im Eiskanal.
