"Snowboard" - A board attached to your feet used for riding down hills while skiing. It has usually two edges, one at the front and one at the back. These are what make up the board's form. To help control speed, the front edge is usually wider than its back.
"Skier", a person who is skilled at riding a ski/snowboard down hills. Skiers are known to wear "boots", "pants," "helmets," and "boots". They protect their heads from falling with helmets.

Use your legs to push the ground with your back leg, while pulling your front leg forward and your front leg up. You keep doing this until you reach the desired speed. You must keep your legs straight and pull them up as fast as you can. Once you have reached your desired speed, let your legs relax and allow them to come together. Repeat the process if you need to slow it down.
Once you've learned how to prevent yourself from colliding with the ground you will need to figure out how fast. There are several ways to measure speed. Some people prefer to count laps around the mountain, others prefer to look at the distance covered from one turn to another.
