ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Snowboard

A snowboard is like a very special kind of magic carpet that helps you slide through the snow. You strap your feet onto the board using some special bindings, like buckle shoes for your feet. Then you push yourself forward with one foot and slowly slide down the hill, kind of like sliding on a slide at the playground.

The snowboard is really fun to ride because you can go really fast or slow, turn in different directions and even jump in the air! But it also takes some practice to learn how to balance and control the board. You have to shift your weight from side to side to go in the direction you want and bend your knees to absorb any bumps in the snow. It's also important to wear warm clothes, a helmet and goggles to stay safe and protect your head and eyes.

Overall, snowboarding is a really cool way to play in the snow and have fun with your friends on the snowy mountains!
