The sport has gained in popularity and the resort, which provides its fans with ideal conditions, is working to promote this new discipline. An on-slope half pipe is being built for surfers, this will be available depending on snow conditions. Specialised snowboarding shops and schools are also available in the resort. In addition to alpine skiing and snowboarding, Sierra Nevada offers many other winter sports including cross-country skiing, artistic skiing (ballet, jumps, moguls), telemark skiing, trekking and adventure skiing.

Snowboarding is allowed on the entire mountain, but limited in the designated beginner ski area. There is a snowboard school and plenty of snowboard rentals. The Borreguiles zone has a nice ski- and boardercross, but real riders strike out for the Laguna de Yeguas to head off-piste and play on the ridges and natural banked sides. After cruising down Laguna de Yeguas take the Dilar charilift to the ridge and choose your spot to drop back into the bowl carving beneath the chair you just rode.
