as per SKI mag - the reason MRG has a board ban...

[WICKEDBUMPER]

"It was that deep-rooted love for the single chair that brought about the resort's infamous snowboard ban. Most skiers forget that in 1986 Mad River was actually one of the first ski areas in the nation explicitly to allow snowboarding. But the way boarders, without ski poles, had to push off when unloading made the single chairs swing and frequently derailed the cable. So Betsy Pratt banned boarders from the single. Since that also eliminated their access to Mad River's best terrain, two high-school boarders cussed her out at the local supermarket. In 1991, she banned snowboards from the mountain altogether."

So, its get rid of the single or get rid of the boarders.
Not to mention...snow boarders just plain kill the bumps
