Meet the athletes of the Toyota U.S. Para Snowboard Team
What is Para Snowboarding?
Para snowboarding shares multiple events and a lot of the same skills that are showcased at the Winter Olympics every four years.
Snowboarding officially became a Paralympic sport for the Sochi Games in 2014. Now every four years, athletes from three different classifications compete in two different events to try to earn a spot on the podium.
There are two events in para snowboarding, banked slalom and snowboardcross and three different classifications for Para snowboarding: UL, LL1 and LL2.
