Court rules that snowboarders have no right to PUBLIC land.

11. That's the point, though

Look, I don't have an issue with snowboarders. When they started showing up, it took a little adjustment. And "sitting in one of those groups".... D'jever take some body counts while riding the lift? I appreciate there are a lot of really good snowboarders but, and this is just from informal observation, it seems there is a lot of sitting involved in learning how to do it.

But, exactly, the rhythm and patterns are different, which can be difficult for people who don't appreciate those differences to avoid collision. You pretty much prove the point.

If I stay out of everyone else's way, can I ride my snowmobile there? Is there any conceivable winter sport activity that can be restricted from this mountain by the resort operator? How about hunting, camping, snowshoe hiking... is there some desperate shortage of mountains out there?

And if your answer is yes, then we are getting into picking and choosing which winter sports are "Constitutional" and which ones aren't.

Did you know the hot dog stand at the Grand Canyon DOESN'T have mayonnaise and they WON'T let you bring in your own mayonnaise? I like mayonnaise on my hot dogs and, god damn it, that's why we fought the Civil War! You think all those guys died at Antietam so I'd have to settle for mustard?

C'mon.
