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.
