Actually, there was one in SoCal. Green Valley Lake. Between Running
Springs and Snow Valley. When I first started skiing it was a tiny area
for everybody. Rope tows, just throw your gear inside the
ticket-selling hut, bring your dogs on the slopes, etc. You parked down
next to the lake and rode up to the area on a bus. Very nice
old-fashioned feel. Good for one day.

At some point it switched to boarders only for maybe two years. Then
x-country only. I think it's closed now.

I know that wheeled borders exclude bikes from "their turf" in some areas.

I remember when Mammoth didn't allow them, but their sister June Mt. did. June had one of the biggest half-pipes in the country and constructed jumps on some of the trails. Snowboarders were a bif part of their business.

When Mammoth opened up to boarders, they used that experience to build up the boarder elements quickly, and almost killed June's business off.
