There is no revolt. Deer Valley , Taos and Mad River Glen have never allowed snowboarding along with Aspen in Colorado, Fiesta Snow Play and Cloudcroft in New Mexico, Perfect North Slopes in Indiana, Appalachian Ski Mountain in North Carolina, and Alta in Utah. These resorts are the remaining few and may have found a niche market. With the continued growth they may have a change of heart soon enough. Also, most of these resorts are on National Park land and are open to the public.
Resorts only rent the land with the right to charge for aerial tramway transportation.
This means if you hike you can stay. One in twenty is equal to five percent, for some reason I think that number is wrong. Mr. Black needs to think before he writes. This may present some enlightening information to combat and back his claim. The only threat I see to snowboarding is to many manufacturers and people in the public eye who find the need to bash snowboarding without in depth knowledge of the snow sports industry.
