Whois & Analysis for salomon.com

Snowboarding is a recreational activity and Olympic and Paralympic sport that involves descending a snow-covered slope while standing on a snowboard attached to a rider's feet.

Ski boots are footwear used in skiing to provide a way to attach the skier to skis using ski bindings.

The ski/boot/binding combination is used to effectively transmit control inputs from the skier's legs to the snow.

Trail running is a sport which consists of running and hiking over trails.

In the United Kingdom and Ireland it is called mountain or fell running.

It differs from road running and track running in that it generally takes place on hiking trails, often in mountainous terrain, where there can be much larger ascents and descents.

It is difficult to definitively distinguish trail running from cross country running.

In general, however, cross country is an IAAF governed discipline that is typically raced over shorter distances (rarely over 12 kilometers), whereas trail running is loosely governed, and run over longer routes.

Snowboards are boards that are usually the width of one's foot longways, with the ability to glide on snow.

Snowboards are differentiated from monoskis by the stance of the user.

In monoskiing, the user stands with feet inline with direction of travel (facing tip of monoski/downhill) (parallel to long axis of board), whereas in snowboarding, users stand with feet transverse (more or less) to the longitude of the board.

Users of such equipment may be referred to as snowboarders.

Commercial snowboards generally require extra equipment such as bindings and special boots which help secure both feet of a snowboarder, who generally rides in an upright position.

These types of boards are commonly used by people at ski hills or resorts for leisure, entertainment, and competitive purposes in the activity called snowboarding.

Sports equipment, called sporting goods where sold, is any object used for sport or exercise.
