Airboard

During Vinterveko we’ll host a fun and informal Airboard sledding competition!

What is Airboard?
“The Airboard is an all mountain body-board for the snow. While many are calling this new sport “airboarding” the proper term is “snow body-boarding.” It is designed to be ridden laying down with the rider’s head facing towards the downhill slope. Speed and directional control is managed using the principal of edge control. Similar to skiing, the rider curves turns by weighting the sides of the Airboard. As this occurs, the profile runners engage the snow to track and carve. Weighting the underside profile runners is accomplished through a combination of body weight transfer and downward hand pressure on the handles.”

The competition will be held in Tråstølen in Voss Resort on Sunday the 14th of March, The competition starts at 12.00. Please note that all athletes have to wear helmets and knee protectors in order to participate.
