- Despite using the English term, Italian skiing culture historically viewed snowboard as a rebellious counter-culture movement, often leading to conflicts with traditional skiers on the slopes.
- Because it is a borrowed word, the plural of snowboard in Italian is often still written as snowboard without adding an 's', following the rules for foreign loanwords.
