Snowboarding at the 2018 Winter Olympics was held between 9 and 23 February 2018 at the Alpensia Ski Jumping Centre and the Phoenix Snow Park. The regular parallel slalom event was switched out in favor of a big air event (for both genders), in order to attract a younger audience and to show progression and development in the sport.
