<blockquote class=“Quote” rel=“rickbolger”>The discrimination angle is grasping at straws. The suit claims that skiers don’t want them there because they wear baggy clothes and say things like “sick” and “gnarly, dude” etc.
Alta is countering that they can sit around and say those things and dress however they want, but they don’t want the equipment on the hill, just as they don’t want ski trikes, toboggans, snowmobiles, etc.
If the snowboarders are right, where’s the line? Wouldn’t I then have a constitutional right to run a dog sled up the hill?

Exactly. Snowboarding isn’t a protected class.
