Viability of a snowboard only mountain?

[BeanoNYC]

I dont understand why it has to be a terrain park/beginner mountain. If anything I would want it to be like any other mountain (of course with damn good parks). Its a misconception that snowboarders only ride to ride in the park. Snowboards are pretty damn hard to beat in pow. Plus plenty of riders love the steeps. I think its pretty ignorant to lump all snowboarders as park guys or something like that.

You're correct. But I think the intention of the post you're referring to was to hypothesize a metro "cash cow" that would market to riders only.

I am not sure what the status of this place is, but there is some place in Indiana called Raging Buffalo Snowboard Park that I believe only allows boarders. I found it on skiresorts.com.

I checked into this raging buffalo place and the info is a little conflicting.

Skitown.com claims skiing is not allowed:

However their website claims the place is

Raging Buffalo Snowboard Park & Ski Area

and makes no mention of any skiing ban.
