Yeah of course. Maybe you cold try but I have never heard of anyone trying to get into alta in hardboots. I have always thought of trying it but I don't want to buy a ticket and not get on the lift. I think it would be interesting to try and see what they say. I mean if they let monoskis in why not an alpine board, just make up some name for it that has to do with skiing it could work :P. I'm thinking you might get in easier with a skwal. Maybe if I'm in Utah sometime I will try it :) i have no interest in deer valley but Alta looks like heaven
Um... Yeah. I think it hinders your carving ability and it's pretty annoying I tried for like half a run and I hated it plus I don't really want to impale myself with ski poles. Maybe if you have alot of cat trails and you have to traverse alot it could be a good idea to carry some retractable poles but I would not ride with them. Some people like it and that's cool with me to do whatever they like but i say they have no place in snowboarding
