Of course I haven't been to MRG. When I'm at Snowbird I don't venture across to Alta either, and I avoid Deer Valley when in Park City. Your point? :roll: :roll: :roll:

Only a couple of weeks ago I was laughing with a skier friend about how "exciting" one particular single chair is in a nice little resort in Furano Japan. How exactly do "strict or regulated" "safety standards" equate to snowboard useability? :roll:

Yes of course jamesdeluxe - anyone who espouses an opinion contrary to the general consensus is a "troll". Pathetic :roll: Perhaps you wouldn't be so narrow-minded if you managed to see more of the world?

I've been riding (AND skiing) since 1994 - so most areas had already overcome their ignorance by the time I started. I'm well aware of the history of MRG discrimination. Betsy Pratt imposed the ban OUT OF SPITE! It's an irrefutable FACT that Betsy Pratt intended to ban snowboardERS by banning...

Yes they are. I think their policy is ridiculous. Your point? :roll: :roll: :roll:

I'd be very happy to see Raging Buffalo allow skiers. :roll:

So you really want me to bring up the fact that you appear to genuinely believe that the policy of nightclubs to selectively filter their clientele on the basis of their clothing actually has to do with the clothing, and isn't simply a means by which they can get away with choosing the "type of...

Absolutely - initially anyway. Betsy Pratt initially banned all snowboardING in "her" resort simply because she objected to the "attitude" of a small group of snowboardERS. :roll:

Look into the history of these bans and you'll see these resorts ARE discriminating against PEOPLE. However because they couldn't get away with doing this openly, they focused on the equipment the "type of person" they objected to typically used. To believe otherwise is simply naive. Thankfully...

If you put as much time into developing YOUR vocabulary as you did into "killing kittens" :roll: you realise that my definitions of "bigotry" (intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself) and "discrimination" (the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of...

In a veiled effort to exclude the "type of people" they view as the stereotypical snowboarder, MRG bans the equipment snowboarders use. Only those so delusional as to support the actions of resorts such as MRG fail to see the truth for what it is.

Someone apparently doesn't understand that the majority of bigotry and discrimination is deliberately distilled into the context of legitimate acts so as to hide its genuine intent. :roll: Ignorance is bliss, so have a nice day.

Firstly, if you'd read my post properly you'd see I've already addressed your query. :roll: Secondly, to dismiss the protest as nothing more than a "Burton marketing campaign" is to prove my point. =D> And here's a news flash for ya - ignorant bigots don't always know they're ignorant bigots.

It's freeriding, not "free-riding" - and there's plenty of really good supportive freeriding boots available. And just for the benefit of skiers who may not be aware of this (some clearly aren't) - for over 20 years the focus of freeriding has been on utilising the random flow of natural...

I'd be surprised if it wasn't somewhat "disturbing", considering "it is run" according to a policy of bigotry and discrimination.
