Snowboarding.

Snowboarding is a sport that involves descending a
slope that is covered with snow on a snowboard attached
to a rider's feet using a special boot set onto mounted
binding. The development of snowboarding was inspired
by skateboarding, sledding, surfing and skiing. It was
developed in the U.S.A in the 1960s and the 1970s and
became a Winter Olympic Games in 1998.
Skiing.


Skiing is a recreational activity using skis as equipment
for traveling over snow. Skis are used in conjunction with
boots that connect to the ski with use of a binding..
Skiing can be grouped into two general categories. The
older of the two disciplines originated in Scandinavia and
uses free-heel bindings that attach at the toes of the
skier's boots but not at the heels. Types of Nordic skiing
include cross-country, ski jumping and Telemark.
Alpinesskiing (more often called "downhill skiing"),
originated in the European Alps, and is characterized by
fixed-heel bindings that attach at both the toe and the
heel of the skier's boot.
Ice Hockey.

Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice in which skaters use
their sticks to hit a puck into the opponent's net. It is a fastpaced physical sport. Ice hockey is most popular in areas that
are sufficiently cold for natural reliable seasonal ice cover, such
as the Czech Republic, Latvia, the Nordic countries(especially
Finland and Sweden), Russia, Slovakia, Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, Canada, and the northern latitudes of the United
States. With the advent of indoor artificial ice rinks it has
become a year-round pastime in these areas. In the United
States, ice hockey is the lesser of the four major professional
sports, but is followed far more enthusiastically in Canada. In
North America, the National Hockey League(NHL) is the
highest level for men.
Ice skating

Ice skating is moving on ice by using ice skates. It can be
done for a variety of reasons, including leisure, travelling,
and various sports. Ice skating occurs both on specially
prepared indoor and outdoor tracks, as well as on
naturally occurring bodies of frozen water such as lakes
and rivers.
