While I think it would be funny to have a world class snowboarding only mountain. Skiers would bitch up a storm like never seen before. Overall the skiing gaper provides way too much entertainment for me to want them banned. Alta is forest service land and should be open to all non motorized downhill sliders which have a proven track record of control and compatibility, which snowboarding does. They allow snowbladers and tele skiers, decidedly not alpine skiing but not snowboarding. Ghey.

Snowboarding only Mount Revo - I'm down.

However I will too miss the skiers on occasion... their little skiis cutting under and inbetween the powder leaves more intact for us, hydroplaning over it and pushing it down more. And their spills! A snowboarder eating it can be fun to witness fo sho but - nothing like watching a yard sale take place. Skies and poles flying in the air, mass carnage. Would it really be the same? Who would crash into me when I'm carving? It takes all the danger out of the sport.

We must remember that we evolved FROM skiers, and therefore they deserve to be fed and treated somewhat decently - just like a caged monkey.

Well I definitely know where I'm not going- haha! Unless everyone wants to get a big group together to hike up Alta and ride on their mountain!!! They may not sell us a lift ticket, but if its national forest, I don't think they stop boarders from using the slopes. Who's down?

It's a snowboard that can be split into skis. Which can then have climbing skins attached to them for upward travel. Once you are at the top of your run, rip the skins, put it back into snowboard mode and rip it up. Lather, rinse, repeat...
