Despite the fact that snowboarding has been a thriving sport since the 70s and a highly viewed event in the Olympics, there are still 3 ski resorts in North America that ban snowboarding:
- Alta Ski Resort, Utah
- Deer Valley, Utah
- Mad River Glen, Vermont
(Taos Ski Valley in New Mexico declared they would lift the ban in March 2008 after Burton snowboards launched their awareness campaign in regards to these resorts.)
Each ski area has its own reason for banning snowboarders, but to be quite honest they're all shite.
It's pricks like these that continue the negative divide between skiing and snowboarding that else where ended decades ago. Time to pull their head out of the snow and realise the mountains belong to everyone.
Avoid these nazi resorts and opt for their friendly neighbouring mountains instead.
