Originally called the "snurfer," the snowboard was invented by a man named Sherman Poppen and first appeared on the slopes in 1965. The activity has since grown significantly in popularity and was finally approved as an Olympics event in 1998. Today snowboarders can be seen on almost every slope, terrain park, and chair lift throughout the country. This sport is not just for men and the young; women are starting to hit those slopes in a big way.
