8.03 - What is snowboard skiing?
Simply put, it is the legal name for snowboarding. Probably contrived by the lawyers and the insurance companies sometime in the 80's. The PSIA also refers to snowboarding as snowboard skiing. This means it has all the privileges and liabilities of alpine skiing. Legally speaking there is no technical difference between any form of skiing, including: telemark, cross-country, mono, downhill, snowboard, boot-skiing.
