Pat,
I just checked MEDLINE using "snowboard$" textword (in OVID). There are 25
citations in  the most current file, back to 1993. Some articles with
statistical data, some describing differences between ski and snowboard
injuries, some in French, German, most in English.
Hope this will help,
Regards,
Vislava
