The only thing that has grown faster in popularity than snowboarding is the slang spoken by its aficionados. Ski areas of all sizes throughout New Hampshire have added terrain parks, half pipes and other challenges for the brave, the bold and the “I’m gonna conquer this mother,” boarders. While having that ability leap into the void is cooler than the mountain at midnight, New Hampshire ski areas have excellent instructors to teach snowboarding to people of all ages and experience. And as with skiing everyone can enjoy snowboarding at his or her own pace on runs that match their abilities.
