| As a snowboarder I wholeheartedly hope this happens.
That being said, it sounds as if the money situation with MRG really is that dire. Burton has bottomless pockets as the worldwide leader in snowboarding. I remember the opening and closing ordeal earlier this season, and frankly MRG is really more of a cult favorite as opposed to a poplular mtn to visit. The feel of the mountain wouldnt change that much IMO, as the only thing that would change is that snowboarders would be allowed. Everyone creams their pants over the bush, and snowboarders are allowed there. The argument against it is old and played out, both skiing and riding have benefited. I welcome the change, but know Im in the minority. |
