 The snowboarding cross events at Sochi were a success , with tickets for para @-@ snowboarding events being among the first to sell out . In April 2014 the IPC announced plans to add slalom to the events at 2018 Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang , South Korea . Consideration was also given to having the snowboard cross event run with pairs of athletes competing against each other rather than as a time trial . There were still no plans to add non @-@ standing or visually impaired events . As of 2014 , visually impaired events were not , considered for medal events at WSF Para @-@ Snowboard competitions due to the small numbers of internationally competitive athletes .
