My greatest annoyance with skiers, in general, revolve around their ability to stop in the middle of a run &/or stop, and stop often on a bumped run. This is hardly a skier-only behaviour. At least they don't tend to do this in packs like young snowboarders do, sitting on their asses in the snow in groups watching each other go off the same little hit they've found. Stopping on a bump run is often necessary, if only to catch a breather. I know I'm not usually in good enough shape to ride them top to bottom, at least not at the large vertical western hills I frequent. Neil |

It would make many a day out more enjoyable - just personal opinion, YMMV. I'm a skier and have no problem sharing the mountain with boarders, but I like there being at least a few hills without them; it DOES make a difference. Not a big one, but a difference. If it would mean the "free the snow" folks would keep their mitts off Alta, Taos, etc., I'd very happily give up four good hills. bw |

I don't think there are, or should be, any "Snowboard Only"
places....That said, I did see signs at brighton years ago that said "snowboards only" on one of the park hits. Sadly, a skier tried to jump it, trying one of those "leg spread" deals. It looked like he was going to do it, but turned his knee around on the landing... Bear Mountain California probably comes closest, since it is dedicated almost entirely to freestyle boarding and skiing - I think that it's probably 70% or more of their business. Don. |

Don: What's it goin' to take to get rid of the other 30% that
clutter-up the runs ? Any other place in area where they can thoroughly enjoy NO SNOWBOARDS ALLOWED privacy ? Hail and more power and $$ to the BEAR ! |
