Snowboard is one of the newer events on the Winter Olympic programme, having been first included at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. But despite having only featured at six editions of the Games, snowboard has become one of the most popular and exciting sports at the Winter Olympics.

There are 11 events in the snowboard competition at Beijing 2022, including mixed team snowboard cross, which will be making its Winter Olympic debut after featuring at the Winter Youth Olympic Games.

The snowboard competition will take place at Genting Snow Park in the Zhangjiakou cluster, where competitions in freestyle skiing, cross-country skiing, Nordic combined, ski jumping and biathlon will also take place. Following the Winter Olympics, the venue will be converted into a ski resort.

The Big Air event will take place at Big Air Shougang, located in the Shougang Industrial Park. The venue is the world's first permanent Big Air structure, and will be used by the public for recreational purposes after the Games.
