The Mountain as a Playground
A Technical Tip by Yukiko Kawada
Riding in harmony with the terrain, and using the whole mountain as a playground is the ultimate goal for many riders. When this is working, the rider receives information from the environment (snow conditions, type of slope, etc.) to determine how to ride efficiently, fluidly, and working in sync with the terrain. This allows a rider to be more independent; being able to explore the mountain on his/her own. It also promotes fun part and freedom of snowboarding!
