Skiing or Snowboarding? That is the question…

Skiing+or+Snowboarding%3F+That+is+the+question...

Skiing has been practiced as a recreational activity ever since the 1800s. Its origins date back thousands and thousands of years. However, snowboarding began just over 50 years ago. The popularity of snowboarding began to increase slowly through the 1990s, and in 1998, snowboarding became an official Olympic sport. Now, the popularity increase in snowboarding has slowed and almost plateaued, while skiing still remains the significantly more popular winter sport of the two. We asked students which winter sport they participated in.
