Let's see if this has any legs!

Alta holds this policy because they don't have much else unique to offer in a highly competitive market.

IIRC you ski and ride, right?

I ask because you owe it to yourself to visit Alta (assuming you ski). It is an amazing place. Judging by your comment it doesn't sound like you've skied there before. It is amazing. On a powder day, and there are many, it is unreal.

I do ski and ride. I've skied and ridden Snowbird several times . I will not be going to Alta. They've made their business decisions, that's their right. But it's a decision that will keep my dollars away. Snowbird, Brighton, etc have always treated me great.

So I take it that you won't visit Deer Valley or MRG?

Nope. Sincere question.

I totally agree with Cannonball about Alta and I have skied there multiple times. It is good but nothing special. I have skied it in thigh deep powder too. I prefer a Snowbird over it and Jackson Hole blows it away. So only allowing skiers when it has nothing really special other that is lame.

Anyone calling the skiing available in LCC nothing special is lame.

I don't think they are lame, I just know that they don't know how to ski Alta and where to find the goods. You need to know how (and where to) ski Alta. There are as many or more long steep shots at Alta as there are at most resorts and Alta gets more of the best snow than almost any other mountain.

With that said, if you don't enjoy it, stay away please.

Puckit did say he prefers Snowbird over Alta and that is still LCC. Alta requires work to find the goods, Snowbird you just have to have a set of eyes and balls from the tram!

I prefer Snowbird, steeper more consistent pitches, longer runs, a tram and better services. It's mostly because I burnt myself out on alta for life. They are both fantastic skiing and compliment each other really well and yeah the pow at alta is a little bit better and skis off a little bit slower (very little).

I do wish they would let boarders in, think its dumb and elitist but I'll still ski there.

Why am I lame for not loving it? It is my opinion. And I have been all over Alta. Grizzly, Catherine's, Superior, etc. There are some very good shots. I just do not hold it in the reverance that most people do. Do not get me wrong, I like it but not to the level of most. I think JHMR blows it away.

Really? So you're asking me if I'm consistent in my opinions & stance on snowboarding bans, or if I'm somehow hypocritical with different approaches to different Mtns? Sounds like trolling to me, but I'll bite..... Yes, you assume correctly I won't ski Deer Valley or MRG. They've made their business decisions, that's their right. But it's a decision that will keep my dollars away.

You seem to be getting overly offended for no real reason CB.

The snow will fall again dude.....don't worry

Not really offended, but it's pretty obvious that TB (Trollboss?) is playing a game in this thread. I'm curious why so I'm playing along.

 

[MadMadWorld]

I bet Cannonball doesn't go to Chik-Fil-A either because he believes they should be open on Sunday

Just challenge each other to a ski/ride off!!

Thanks to the advent of park skiing, these snowboarding bans have failed as a proxy for eliminating undesirables. These resorts need to start banning oversized clothing, twin tips and anyone who sticks out their tongue and apes for attention when excited, or should I say "stoked"!!! :flame:

 

[Funky_Catskills]

One of the things I can't stand about the LCC is the type 1 people there...
Seems like a meca for that kind of personality to me... I don't exist well with those types since I basically vacation to avoid that..

Why I prefer Jackson... Or Colorado... Or Montana... Or BC....

Totally... Pushing you into the 1995 argument...
Don't take the bait... hahaha...
