There is no business model because no idiot would do that at a serious mountain. Snowboarders are into community and inclusion.
I will state again, only some skiers are the race of entitlement assholes to have such douchy rules like exclusion.Terje was right.

since skiing came first that is the status quo. many areas need both skiers and boarders in order to make ends meet. why all the hate over how i get down the mountain is hard for me to comprehend. this type of anger/frustration seems to melt away once we all get back on the snow. i love seeing boarders at alta during pre season. and we all get along.

it would be pretty easy to build, all you'd need is a really wide slope so everyone could sit down in the middle and compare their steeze, send text messages, and update their facebooks.

Snowboarder only area - 65 miles from civilization, Fairweather Range, AK. Snowboarders are pushing the limits and boundaries of the backcountry farther than skiers ever have. Literally. Hate all you want, but that's some badass shit.
Must agree though, as a skier and boarder, I see no reason to discriminate. At all.

Heads up - I met a cool dude from Brundage at the ski/board expo in seattle that tolds me... Tamarack will most likely be open like weekends, or 2 days out of the week this winter. So there should be some kill pow stashed up for the locals. Winter's starting to look good this round. Originally Posted by AdironRider

Yes, because when skiers started coming into terrain parks, boarders were ALL cool with that. There was no animosity at all. Originally Posted by DasBlunt

For the record, I think Alta should allow boarders."Have you ever seen a monk get wildly fucked by a bunch of teenage girls?" "No" "Then forget the monastery."

Taos was forced to open to snowboarding because there weren't enough rich old skiers going to new mexico to keep the status quo profitable. The same would work in reverse, resorts need all the revenue they can find....Alta and Deer Valley are sort of exceptions to this. Deer Valley caters to a price is no problem luxury market and Alta apparently doesn't have enough fresh lines to go around for the skiers....there isn't any room for snowboarders when you've got that many skiers dueling for lines. All I ever hear is Alta is only awesome until every pass holder in SLC gets up there, then its just another crowded, tracked out, crusty hill just like the rest. So who cares?
The only thing about Alta that rankles me is their silly notion that the skiers-only is somehow conserving the powder or that an average Alta skier just points it and lightly floats over the line. Yeah, right. Plenty of threads in this forum about the shitload of tourists and SLC gapers who ski Alta and how fast it gets tracked up. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.Last edited by neckdeep; 11-02-2010 at 02:32 PM.

I've always fantasized about a ski area with only snowboarders... just think how amazing it would be to not have moguls everywhere! though being a skier myself I wouldn't be reaping the rewards.... maybe the best option to eliminate moguls would be to ban short radius turns.

Meh, I prefer the opportunity to crossbreed with the skier girls. Then we end up with a baby who monoskis or something.

Well if we get a boarder only mountain... I think we should ban Goofy footers. Their blind spot is opposite ours and creates grave danger. Maybe we could allow them on 1 groomed run where they must ride switch... or get chucked over the closure ropes and fined $1,000 for being out of bounds. If it's boarders only, we're still gonna need a sub-group to grind on.
