I just want to say that since moving out west, there is no difference between a skier rocking 100+ mm skis underfoot, and a snowboard in terms of what they do to the quality of the snow. My board measures 242 underfoot. My buddy with K2 Hellbents (122 each underfoot) makes a wider track through the snow on a pow day than I do....

This is not an indictment of snowboarders. I have a child who has a snowboard phobia. Are there ski only mountains in New England or at least mountains where there are separate areas for skiers/boarders. Thanks.

The only ski only mountain in New England is Mad River Glen in Vermont. Trust me, there are scarier things then snowboarders.

Wow......didn't mean to offend anyone....

I really appreciate the parenting advice. It wasn't meant as an attack on snowboarders. To each there own. Much thanks to the people who took my request for what it was and offered sincere advice and information. The analogy to black-free ski mountains was a bit of a stretch.

Mad River Glen

I misunderstood the subject and was going to say that yes, I ski only mountains.

Snowboarders are responsible for all of the following:

Scraped trails
Crowded trails
On slope accidents
Off slope accidents
Skier powder envy
Corruption of youth
Crumbing education system
The national debt
Global warming
Killer astroids
"Battlefield Earth"
The blister on my heel
George Steinbrenner
The Big Dig

Don't sweat it, dogman. Unfortunately you came in here, probably unknowingly, with a rather sensitive topic as one of your first threads. And yes, making an analogy to racism was a major streeeeeeeeeetch.

I thought politics weren't allowed around here :lol:

I think the MRG snowboarding ban and helmit threads are teetering on politics now. It's an Alpine Zone nation divided :lol:

 

[dmc]

dogman go to MRG .. I am sure you will find what you seek and will be happy .. Best of Luck to you and the family.

I just had a flash of this kid so happy theres no snowboards around - smiling - skiing in the sun... The suddenly a group of 20 boarders come screaming down on a poach... Leaving the kid screaming in the middle of the trail...

Gee, Dogman, did you actually get any advice? Other than Mad River Glen, the best you can do is to avoid crowds. I don't know where you live or whether you can ski weekdays, but the least crowded place on weekends I've seen is Berkshire East. They do have snowboards, but not much of a park, and they do have some nice, relatively isolated green runs on the far west side of the mountain.

Great suggestion. I think the trail you are talking about is Roundabout. And Exhibition is a wide that they would have plenty of room to operate, especially midweek or on a slow day.

I don't see a good future for this thread.

Don't think so
