Special Olympics Snowboarding is gaining momentum because it's hip, stylish and very challenging. Snowboarders shredded down a mountain for the first time at the 2001 World Winter Games in Anchorage, Alaska. At its debut in international competition, 23 athletes competed in three Snowboarding events similar to Alpine Skiing-slalom, giant slalom and super giant slalom. The number of athletes participating in Snowboarding is expected to grow because of the attention the sport is receiving.

Since the sport is so new to Special Olympics, there are two ability levels offered: novice and intermediate/advanced. During competition all snow boarders must wear a helmet. Athletes are placed in divisions according to ability.

EVENTS:

  • Slalom
