今天為大家介紹單板滑雪、殘奧單板滑雪：
Snowboarding, 單板滑雪
單板滑雪興起于20世紀60年代的美國，當時美國人開始尋找新的冬季體育活動。十年間，這項運動從小眾滑雪項目運動成為主流體育運動。沖浪愛好者和滑板愛好者也逐漸參與其中，到1980年，單板滑雪已成為全國性的體育運動。
20世紀70年代末，單板滑雪愛好者開始到傳統的滑雪勝地滑雪，但遭到當地滑雪愛好者的一致反對，他們極力將單板滑雪者趕出傳統滑雪場。然而，到了20世紀90年代，由于單板滑雪運動能給傳統滑雪場帶來不錯的收入，幾乎所有的滑雪場都接受了單板滑雪運動。
Snowboarding was developed in the United States in the 1960s as people across the country began to seek out new winter activities. Over the next decade, the sport began to gain crossover appeal. Surfers and skateboarders became involved, and by 1980, snowboarding was a nationwide activity.
In the late 1970s, snowboarders started to "invade" traditional ski resorts, but faced opposition from skiers who tried to exclude the snowboarders from "their" mountains. By the 1990s, however, almost all ski resorts had accepted snowboarding, and the resorts have found the snowboarders to be an excellent source of new revenue.
