Park City must have more shitty boarders than Snowbird. I've watched tons of skiers sideslip/sidestep above and through the choke in Rock Chute this year. Most of the snowboarders who get there are good enough to straightline through and then make a couple turns in the apron. The retarded fucking Coolwhip traverse that undercuts the whole cirque pointlessly-90% of the time it's skiers setting it and using it. The traverse across the top of Anderson's-way more skiers blocking that than snowboarders. With that said, if Alta really does have a bunch of uphill traverses, it would suck on a board. I never go out Bookends Traverse, cuz its a bitch. I care less that Alta is skiers only, but there's way too much blame being placed on them than is warrantedQuote:

Its more than ok to say "snowboarding sucks" or "I hate snowboarders". Its nothing more than a stupid snow sport for christ sakes.

Rich white people suck.
yeah but "voices" makes it easier to deal withQuote:

We at ALTA firmly believe in using public lands in a discriminatory manner to provide income for our families and a top notch skiing experience for our customers. We also believe than gen Y is rife with trouble, evidenced by this darned snowboarding movement. They cause a yet-to-be-measured - yet widely believed among high frequency skiers - phenomenon we call board plop. You see it deposits yet-to-be-measured - yet widely referenced among ski bigots - amounts of snow following sloppy, non-carve snowboard turns. We believe this phenomenon to be of utmost importance to our clientele. The fact that shitty skiers - which we have plenty of - do a similar thing to soft snow is not germane to this policy, no matter how relevant it seems.
You see, our clientele are not typical. They represent the single most anally retentive, prejudiced community of skiers in the United States. Why? Geography. You see, through our lease with the forest service we control arguably the best acreage in the country for sunny powder skiing. Second, we live in one of the more culturally homogenous and uneducated regions in the US. This wondrous combination - or lack thereof, ha!! - of diversity, education and overall common fucking sense allows us to continually wag our bare nuts at the entire snowboarding community!
Now, you may not appreciate our offensive exclusionary practice / questionable use of public land. But that doesn't matter because our asshat-douche parade is allowed to continue thanks to our loyal cadre of skier bigot clients, management and morally bankrupt, out of touch politicians. We're pretty sure the US Forest Service thinks we're pricks but that's ok.
The ALTA community, where pow gets shredded faster than any other resort in Utah (maybe even the US?). Where the snow turns to granules faster than you can call that damn neighbor of yours a homo. Now, despite this impressive rate of snow quality reduction we remain steadfast in our resolve to prevent generation y members from utilizing the public lands they own.
Sincerely ALTA.
"where we're simply better than you"
Your point. I seem to not find it.Quote:

People have died and wars have started because of real discrimination. This is just pathetic and some bros just wants to be the remembered as the not even close to Rosa parks of snowboarding because all of his homies have already forgotten about his movie Segs and crappy headphones.
Alta is to blame too for their gay ass social media blowing up everyone's feed with mediocre hip skiing bringing attention to themselves. It snowed alot more when alta didn't have a facebook or instagram.
Brighton isn't close to Alta for inbounds terrain, naturally that's an easy bargaining chip. It's about the principle, location, ownership of land, etc. It's very easy to downplay the impact of exclusion when you're on the inside. That's been documented quite well over the last 100 years. The scale is obviously petty, but the principle is perfectly valid.Quote:

I hope Alta doesn't let boarders in. Ha! Snowboarding is dying out on its own anyway because it is stupid. Snowboard gear sales are in decline and other factors point to it going down hill.
I gave up skiing for snowboarding in the nineties. I'm back to skiing, but also still snowboard.Quote:

Don't get me started on cross country skiing. Oh wait, that's half of the Alta experience.
CAN ALTA SAVE SNOWBOARDING
Brohamtana, I think you overshot the landing on that one.
es posible, mi novia no esta bien. no estoy contento. lo sientoQuote:

And by the way, I could care less if Alta was to allow snowboarding or not. I understand they operate on public land and realize how that can be an issue to many. But anyone who is privileged enough to participate in what are essentially luxury sports, should have a little perspective. Simply being able to slide down a hill on one board or two is awesome. Just enjoy it, wherever it might or might not be! These are absurd 1st world arguments. Many people in this world can barely get drinkable water, yet winter sport resorts pump it out at millions of gallons per minute to create fake snow for our enjoyment. And in the process create more greenhouse gases, exacerbating climate change. Complaining about where you can or cannot participate in such luxury activities is beyond ridiculous. And comparing Alta's skier only policy to the struggle for civil rights in the USA or the Nazis is beyond reprehensible in comparison to what those movements represent.

pssst.. it's a red herring
Precisely. This alone may fuck them up.Quote:

-10 to +10 of your restricted range allows for a pretty significant generational impact.
ya noes a few of us still irl ski:wink:Quote:
