Derailing the Single is one, but not the only factor for restricting access. You wouldn't be allowed to ride the lift with a splitboard in split mode, just like you can't go up the Double with a snowboard.

I can't fault skiers for loving the place - it's awesome... I've skied and tele'd there even though I'm 95% snowboarder...
I'm personally not down with private/segregated anything... Except maybe snowblades...
Here's the official word from MRG.
Nope you can't tele-board here!
MRG's policy is that whatever you are on - you need two of them.
Yes to tele, snow blades, etc... No to tele-boards and monoskis
And no we won't allow split boards on the lift either.
Hope that clears things up.

Yup that clears things up. No adaptive program. If you lost a leg you are SOL, you need 2 of them.

SHould i invest if i want to ride that prestine mountain?
Now, there is 2 of them... I'll put hardboots on it... and will carry poles... cause face it: it's going to be a train wreck!
Now, can i ride the lift with those things attached to my feet? Let's called them: sideways skis.
Pretty please!

That raises another question that wasn't answered by MrMRG.What about 3 of "them"?1 ski and 2 outriggers.The pr hit would not be good if an amputee in this setup or Cannonballs situation were denied.

I'm really interested in this response as my closest friend is a sit skier. I think this would a be pretty touchy subject for them. I'm sure if they didn't allow it they'd pull the whole "won't fit on the single chair" card. But I know for a fact that a good sit skier with two outriggers and one ski under the chair can get him or herself on a double chair. Do they allow a mono ski? A single leg amputee wearing one ski and using two poles?
Kind of concerned about this. I never thought about it. I don't agree with the snowboarding ban because there is no need for it, but they're going to hide behind their "snow preservation" excuse and no one can really do anything about it because a boarder can learn to ski then go to MRG. But not allowing a person because of disability is not right.

Is it hard to learn?

I bet it's pretty hard, I'm sure it takes many more hours to learn than regular skiing and snowboarding. The balance alone is just insane.

I saw an amputee skier with outrigger poles in line on the Single this past weekend. He ripped.

Sweet! And he didn't even derail the single? Hopefully MRG's Marketing Director did give the guy the boot for not having "two of them".

I'm going to go home an watch the Burton extra where a bunch of pros poached the 4 (at the time, now 3 I think) no-snowboards-allowed resorts. So funny.
