Snowboarding is a sport that thrives on adrenaline, freedom and fresh powder. The last word in fresh powder is a word we see often in the snowboarding world: terrain. We all know that fresh snow is worth its weight in gold, and now you can go as deep as you want in the world of snowboarding when you have a truckload of fresh powder to shred.
Besides, a perfect powder day is a special kind of day that snowboarders can’t get enough of. The last day of the season is when the resort hosts an ‘End of Season Party’. Now that the snow has melted and the fresh powder has run out, everyone gets together to celebrate.
Below we have listed five of the best snowboarding holidays for you to get the ball rolling. Think about where you’d like to go and start planning your next trip.
