Catch some air

From Lonely Planet's feed Tied of skiing? Dab hand at snowboarding? Wondering what to do next? Well wonder no more, the next big craze to hit the slopes this year is airboarding. Speed-freaks tired of carving up the slopes on two legs have taken to hurling themselves off mountain slopes on an airboard - (that's a large inflatable lilo to you and me!) actually a 4ft inflatable sledge with hard runners underneath. It can reach speeds of up to 80mph, although stopping is somewhat harder - there are no breaks so short of hurling yourself sideways into a skidding halt you best just pray for a soft landing. Unsurprisingly, skiers and snowboarders are none-too-keen on sharing their slopes with such hazardous neighbours. Now I know what to do for my next holiday! :)
