LOL  Nah, I’ve been dealing with Alta’s bullshit for about 15 years, so this is nothing new to me.

Incidentally, I’ve been discussing the possibility of getting a bulk order of Alta Snowboard Team t-shirts and stickers shipped to Australia - so if anyone wants something, just let me know.

I had 1 bad experience with this older skier dude 2 seasons ago. I was turning heelside trying to stop infront of the lift line he’s behind and a bit to the side so I didn’t really see him. He hit me and proceed to be super angry saying stuff like for f*cks sake, it says SLOW over there (I was super slow coming to a stop mind you, and the sign does not say slow lol). I just let him do all the talking haha, I know it’s his fault anyway.

Some of those guys seriously have zero idea.
’ You snowboarders are just too loud, with all your nose rings and stuff’
You don’t hear me complaining when skiers are doing stupid wide turns across the whole run, then change direction and smash into me.

We were so tempted to take our spiltboards out there when I was in Utah in Feb. Wasn’t sure how that would go though. Lol

The mountains are for everyone.

Also I’d be keen on a shirt chucky.

Even though Alta claim that snowboarding’s not suitable for their terrain “because of all the traversing”, splitboards aren’t allowed - even though they traverse better than alpine skis. Hypocrites.
