The snowboard allows the plaeyer to distriubte their weight over a larger surface area, allowing them to glide over the snow.  The ratio of mass to surface area without the board would be too high and make the player sink in the snow and not glide.  The player excerts torque with their legs and hips to turn and manuver the board.
