I don't know about snowboarding, but my father-in-law who's now 66 was ripping some mighty waves while body surfing with my husband in Hawaii last month. No board needed - he was just amazing! He's never been interested in winter sports because he cycles too much, but if he was snowboarding he certainly would be doing stuff that I can only dream of.

I hope this lady didn't die of exposure, it got pretty cold around those days.
