If it were up to me I'd let the snowboarders in. Seems like alot of wasted energy to keep them out.

I find some of the responses to be arrogant and ignorant.

I had a feeling this would happen eventually.

I can see the outcome going either way. I'm sure alta will state they they are not discriminating against race or sex, just equipment used.

I seriously want this to happen, even though it's overall going to bring in more people to an already busy LCC. Alta is an amazing place that everyone should be able to enjoy.

Hey, maybe it would take some of the pressure off of Snowbird? That would be an upside

I've always wondered since snowbird is next door, have riders simply taken the snowbird lift up, and crossed lines to board the alta side down?

They're suing as a violation of their Constitutional rights? GTHOUH. Morons.

Send these entitled cry-babies to ride some peaks in China so they can get a flavor of what real human rights violations and discrimination looks like.

It's going to go down in flames. Sorry, but snowboarders are not a "protected class" under the constitution.

Well, it is on public land, they sort of got a point. Whether they actually have a case or not is to be seen. How would you feel if one of the more bad ass areas with killer snow in VT (on public land) said no, we don't want any NY/Jersey here....no thanks? Does that seem fair?
