In 1993, the Federation Ski International (FIS), the international organizational body for skiing and Olympic skiing voted to recognize snowboarding. FIS therefore organized several events in 1994 and voted to include snowboarding as a discipline in their jurisdiction. Many were opposed to FIS’ control over snowboarding, alleging they didn’t have anything to do with the sport of snowboarding and compared it as if Ice Hockey would manage Curling.
