Hitting the slopes has a new meaning ever since snowboarding was invented in the sixties and seventies. In 1998, snowboarding became an Olympic event. Currently, three events are performed by Olympic snowboarders.The first is the half-pipe, where one boarder must perform a series of acrobatic tricks, twists and jumps in order to score well. The second is the individual giant slalom, a speedy downhill race against time. The third event is the snowboard cross, a competition where four competitors race down the slopes against each other.
