Burton has a great new contest, offering $20,000 total for the best “poaching” videos from each of the 4 resorts left in North America that still don’t allow snowboarding.
For the record; the 4 resorts are:
- Deer Valley – http://www.deervalley.com
- Alta – http://www.alta.com
- Taos – http://www.skitaos.org
- Mad River Glen – http://www.madriverglen.com
You can read more about the contest here, and see the submitted video’s as they come in.

Well, some of the Quebec resorts might as well forbid the whole thing. I saw on RDS the other day that 2 resorts are officially forbidding jumping in the, wait for it, snowboard parks… And that 3 others are considering the same. Unfortunately, I can’t remember which ones.
yea.. lots of new helmet laws also coming into place this year in snow-parks. guess it was inevitable.
a lot of heat surrounding this contest but i think the basic idea of ending segregation between skiers and snowboarders is pretty damn cool. we are all out there for the same reason right? snow?! anyhow, the company i work for is 50 some skiers and snowboarders and somehow we can manage to work in harmony… we want to encourage this and blur the lines between 2 planks or 1 and are throwing down an additional $5000 to the winners:
