The Snow Shovel Gets a New, Exciting Use
Damien Deleon is credited with creating shovel racing at a hotel resort in the 1970s. Though shovel racing is no longer in the Winter X Games, there is still a yearly competition at the Angel Fire Resort, Angel Fire, New Mexico.
Racers use wax on the bottom of the sled to increase speed and paint their shovels to stand out. Some racers modify their shovels by putting them on skis or snowboards for the modified racing category.
