"Snowboard", A board attached to your foot that allows you to ride down hills while ski-skating. It usually has two edges (front & back) which make up the board's shape. The front edge is wider than the back edge to help control speed.
Skier - A person who uses a ski/snowboard to ride down hills. Skiers wear boots, pants and helmets. Their heads are protected by helmets when they fall.

"Riding Down Hills” - To go downhill, you first need to know how to stop falling. Use your legs to push the ground with your back leg, while pulling your front leg forward and your front leg up. Keep going at this speed until you get to the desired speed. The faster you travel, the harder you must pull your legs up and kick them forward. Once you reach the speed you desire, relax your legs and let them come together. You can slow down by simply repeating the process.

Some prefer to count the number of laps that you make around the mountain. Others prefer to see the distance traveled from one turn to the next.

If you lean too far, you'll crash into the ground. Lean too little, and you won't be able to turn. Once you can turn well enough, you can begin learning tricks. Tricks are complex moves that require balance and timing. They include things like flips, spins, cartwheels, and more.
