Snowboarding 2012 Calendar. This 2012 calendar features the extreme winter sport of Snowboarding which originates from the U.S. in the late 1960's. Many of the early boards were of rudimentary design compared to the high specification models made from strong durable and light weight materials available today. Snowboarding has grown massively in popularity in recent times, thanks in part to its Olympics debut in Nagano, Japan in 1998 and in 2002 in Salt Lake City. This fantastic snowboarding 2012 calendar features month to view calendar grids alongside extreme photography capturing the thrills n' spills of Snowboarding.
