São Roque – Brazil – Snowboarding in the Tropics

São Roque is an hour’s drive from São Paulo. Head to the top of the biggest hill in the area and you will find a small park which includes a deadly mountain bike trail, a toboggan course and an artificial ski slope.  You’re not wrong in thinking that the majority of the population here have never seen snow, however this hasn’t put the teenagers off from wanting to give the slopes a go.

Two French riders were sent from Whitelines Snowboarding magazine to sample this tropical slope in Brazil.  Their day began with learning to handle the artificial slopes, but after an hour a couple of lethal rails were brought out and crowds started to gather. Certainly if you’re looking for a completely different snowboarding experience or even fancy breaking up your surfing holiday it might be worth checking out São Roque
