Yeah, snowboarding hit during high school, I got my snowboarding war scars. In the early years, the snowboarders were usually seen sitting on the snow, lying on the snow, even occasionally lying on the snow, but rarely seemed to actually move, and said movements generally looked like they were trying to scrape off the “packed powder” on the slope instead of going downhill. In retrospect I suspect they just didn’t know what to do, and probably fell down any time they tried. When the first half-tube was put in for the boarders a few years later, they’d figured it out and were routinely being hauled off by the ski patrol for the usual injuries.
