Snowboarding and skiing are both winter sports in which participants ride down snow-covered slopes. But the equipment and physical position of the athlete differ. Snowboarders use a snowboard with the feet positioned perpendicular to the board, whereas skiers use two skis with each foot in parallel with the length of the ski. Unlike skiers, snowboarders do not use poles and wear softer, more flexible boots.
