Snowboarding is a sport that has been contested at the Winter Olympic Games since the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan.  Snowboarding was one of five new sports or disciplines added to the Winter Olympic programme between 1992 and 2002, and was the only one not to have been a previous medal or demonstration event.  In 1998, four events, two for men and two for women, were held in two specialities: the giant slalom, a downhill event similar to giant slalom skiing; and the half-pipe, in which competitors perform tricks while going from one side of a semi-circular ditch to the other.  Canadian Ross Rebagliati won the men's giant slalom and became the first athlete to win a gold medal in snowboarding.  Rebagliati was briefly stripped of his medal by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) after testing positive for marijuana.  However, the IOC's decision was reverted following an appeal from the Canadian Olympic Association.  For the 2002 Winter Olympics, the giant slalom was dropped in favour of the parallel giant slalom, an event that involves head-to-head racing.  In 2006, a third event, the snowboard cross, was held for the first time.  In this event, competitors race against each other down a course with jumps, beams and other obstacles.

The Front Range is a mountain range of the Southern Rocky Mountains of North America located in the central portion of the U.S. State of Colorado, and southeastern portion of the U.S. State of Wyoming.  It is the first mountain range encountered moving west along the 40th parallel north across the Great Plains of North America.  The Front Range runs north-south between Casper, Wyoming and Pueblo, Colorado and rises nearly 10,000 feet above the Great Plains.  Longs Peak, Mount Evans, and Pikes Peak are its most prominent peaks, visible from the Interstate 25 corridor.  The area is a popular destination for mountain biking, hiking, climbing, and camping during the warmer months and for skiing and snowboarding during winter.  Millions of years ago the present-day Front Range was home to ancient mountain ranges, deserts, beaches, and even oceans.

In this event, competitors race against each other down a course with jumps, beams and other obstacles.  On July 11, 2011, the International Olympic Committee's Executive Board approved the addition of Ski and Snowboard Slopestyle to the Winter Olympics roster of events, effective in 2014.  The decision was announced via press conference from the IOC's meeting in Durban, South Africa.  A fifth event, parallel slalom, was added be in 2014.
Snowkiting or Kite skiing is an outdoor winter sport where people use kite power to glide on snow or ice.  The skier uses a kite to give them power over large jumps.  The sport is similar to water-based kiteboarding, but with the footwear used in snowboarding or skiing. The principes of using the kite is the same, but in different terrain.  In the early days of snowkiting, foil kites were the most common type; nowadays many kiteboarders use inflatable kites.  However, since 2013, newly developed racing foil kites seem to dominate speed races and expedition races, like Red Bull Ragnarok (held on the Norwegian Hardangervidda plateau) and the Vake mini-expedition race (held at Norway's most northern Varanger peninsula).  Snowkiting differs from other alpine sports in that it is possible for the snowkiter to travel uphill and downhill with any wind direction.  Like kiteboarding, snowkiting can be very hazardous and should be learned and practiced with care.  Snowkiting is becoming increasingly popular in places often associated with skiing and snowboarding, such as Russia, Canada, Iceland, France, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Sweden and the Northern and Central United States.  The sport is becoming more diverse as adventurers use kites to travel great distances and sports enthusiasts push the boundaries of freestyle, big air, speed and back country exploration.
Crystal Mountain Resort was a small day-use ski area near West Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.  It has two chairlifts and one surface lift: a GMD Mueller doublechair, a Leitner-Poma triplechair, and a Doppelmayr T-bar.

Despite the smaller size of the resort, which is considerably smaller than neighbouring resorts such as Big White Ski Resort and Silver Star Mountain Resort, the mountain is of good size and is a popular destination for both experienced and first-time skiers, snowboarders and snowshoers.  Despite the lower elevation, the resort receives heavy snowfall each year with many powder days throughout the winter season.  It was long known as Last Mountain Ski Resort but has since changed its name to Crystal Mountain Resort in 1992.  Crystal Mountain Resort offers lessons for skiing and snowboarding as well as offering rentals for snowshoeing.  It has not been in operation since 2014 due to a lift malfunction of the Blue doublechair.
