snowboarding styles

Here are a few snowboarding styles and techniques so you don't feel out of place in the snow.

    Style is very important to snowboarding. Each style relate to a different type of terrain and equipment. They even have their own competitions. We have only attempted to give a brief outline of these styles here. They are just an introduction to the sport and may help you to decide which type of snowboarding is for you.

  • Freestyle
    Snowboarders who want to do everything and anything as the name suggests. They usually use a directionally- shaped board with longer tip for better movement. Freestyle focuses on jumps, tricks, rail slides, halfpipes and switch riding. Many resorts now design and maintain snowboard parks specifically for freestyle riders with rails, halfpipes and jump. Equipment consists of a soft boot and a relatively short, maneuverable board.

    The most popular snowboarding events are the Freestyle competitions. These will include halfpipe, quarterpipe, slopestyle and big air competitions.

  • Technical Freestyle
    Swinging back and forth in the half-pipe, performing complicated spins in a snowboard park.

  • Freeriding
    Freeriders spend most of their time on the ground. Is the most general style of snowboarding also called 'All mountain riding'. Freeriders prefer the all mountain experience: open terrain, backcountry, fresh powder, while at the same time perfectly happy in a local park cut pipe. Freeriding is usually considered the most suitable style for beginners. Just like freestyle, freeride equipment uses a soft boot. Boards common to this style of riding are relatively longer and more directional in their shape.

  • Freecarve/Alpine
    The Freecarve style of snowboarding focuses on speed, carving and racing. Also called alpine, freecarving attracts those looking for speed and takes place on hard-pack or groomed runs and focuses on the ultimate carving turn. This style is not about jumps and rail slides. Boards are stiff, narrow and relatively long with a curved nose and a flat tail to allow more stability.
