👇BELOW: Snowboarding Was Created in Michigan👇

My son and I were recently tubing at Cannonsburg Ski Area and when we rode up the magic carpet to get to the top of the hill for our next run we would watch the snowboarders come down the adjacent hill.

I used to be an avid skier and still love to go occasionally but wanted to try snowboarding but at my age, this could lead to hip replacement surgery. A group of snowboarders will compete on the streets of a Michigan city this weekend.
