The Events

There are two different events in Paralympic Snowboarding:

SNOWBOARD CROSS (SBX)

Events:

SBX

A top to bottom race between up to four athletes over obstacles including jumps and rollers. First Athlete to the bottom wins.
Events:

BSL

A race against the clock down a twisty track with multiple banked turns. Athletes get two attempts, with the fastest run counting in the final results.
Events:
From 2019-20 athletes also started competing in Dual Banked Slalom which is similar to Banked Slalom but athletes compete on identical, parallel course adding an extra level of competition.

Athletes with an impairment in one or both arms.

Athletes with significant impairment to one leg, e.g. a single above knee amputation, or a significant impairment in both legs, e.g. double above ankle amputation.
