Why do people like skiing or snowboarding down a mountain?
People like to ski or snowboard down a mountain because it gives them a sense of adventure and a thrill to be out in nature, enjoying what winter has provided for them. The art of sliding controllably down a mountain gives people a slight adrenaline rush that can be addicting. Immersed safely in nature where there are trees, beautiful mountains, and lakes to see gives a sharp peaceful contrast to extreme adventure and risk-taking that ski and snowboarding invokes.
