Release date: December 2011

Snowboarding is one of the many games released on Habbo and was developed by Sulake itself. The Snowboarding function was first introduced on 30 December 2011, along with its own range of furniture to match. Shortly after the initial release, further items of furniture were added to the collection which brought the total to 6 items - the later addition of the Icy Teleport and Snow Puff round out this category at 8. Just like other games such as Ice Tag and Rollerskating, when a user walks onto a Snowboard Patch they will automatically be wearing the Snowboard to slide down the slopes.

The Snowboarding patch can be set to 9 different levels of height to create truly daring slopes for users to tackle and can prove quite difficult due to the unusual clicking procedure. A small blue icon appears over the patches to indicate which space a user has selected to avoid problems when clicking behind very high snowboard slopes. The Snowboard Rail is also an interactive part of the game as a user can grind along the top of it and slide off at the other end. The Snowboard Jump is also interactive, and a user will glide through the air once they leave the tile the ramp is placed on and land on the tile adjacent to this.
