Showcasing 10 of the most unusual snowboard spots from around the world that you wouldn’t expect to be able to shred at.
Chacaltaya, Bolivia
Located 17,400 feet above sea level, the Chacaltaya glacier is the only snowboarding area in Bolivia. The beauty of the Andes mountains and the stunningly high elevation make the Chacaltaya glacier a fantastic snowboarding spot. Sorry, this is the best video from  Chacaltaya we could find….
Troodos, Cyprus
Snowboarding in Cyprus, really? Yep, but the snow on Mount Olympus doesn’t stick around for long, but if you head out to Troodos at the right time in the season, you can hit the slopes and then head to the beach in one trip.
Â
Atlas Mountain, Morocco
Some 80 kilometers away from Marrakech, you will find a paradise of powder in the Atlas Mountains. Africa’s highest resorts lie in these mountains at some 3,000 meters up the slopes. The trails are diverse enough to satisfy both novice and advanced snowboarders.

Mzaar, Lebanon
The Mzaar snowboarding resort lies only an hour away from Beirut. The slopes in the middle of Mount Lebanon offer top quality runs.
