Haha ya, just used to hike Alta during the pre season cuz they had the most snow. Go up there and set up little rails and jumps and stuff. Never riden a lift or anything but Alta is where I learned to ski when I was little.

I don't think anything will come of the lawsuit in that article tbh. Doesn't really bother me as a snowboarder either.


on the app. square bizness.

Yeah that's what I would do there too. We used to build a jump late season on the tailings pike at the bottom.

I thought the article was funny because in it they interviewed my brothers girlfriend.

I agree. Snowboarders are not a protected class, and the resort has a rational (two-stick pricks!) reason for excluding snowboarders.

Edit: I would think they would make a lot more $$$ if they allowed boarders in too. Especially if Deer Valley followed suit.

I don't think Alta is really worried about money. Sometimes they are so crowded they have to stop selling tickets. It is probably a more popular resort just due to the fact that snowboarders are not allowed. They might not be more popular than solitude or brighton if they allow snowboarders. They would probably have to build better lifts/more lifts to keep up with snowbird.

I have heard though that there has been talk about selling to snowbird, or snowbird selling to them, and the two resorts merging. It would an awesome resort to have both of them together, though.
 
As a snowboarder, I was pissed that this **** has finally hit the fan. There are three "ski-only" resorts left in the country. Two of them here in the motherland.

I don't want Alta or Deer Valley opening up to snowboarders, and here's why: They are a magnet for the ski-snob douche bags that would otherwise be fouling the runs at the places I frequent. I like the idea that they can go be by themselves, and not bother me.

There are plenty of places to ride. Just as good or better than Alta or Deer Valley.

**** 'em.
