Although most ski areas are on federal land, this land is leased. Each ski area is privately owned, and has the right to it's own rules. I don't know what the snowboard rules are for any of the Colorado ski areas. I've never seen any on on the slopes. I have seen ski/hanglider activity in Steamboat back in '75... interesting! The only snowboarding I've seen was on the mountain across from A-Basin, last spring. Looked like quite a bit of fun! Looks like the snowboard might be most suited for powder.
