It's been done.  The Snowboard Ranch, in Bethany, Ontario, Canada originally
was a "snowboard only" hill.  It formerly operated as Silver Fox and last
operated as The Ski and Snowboard Ranch.  Halfway through the first season
they started allowing skiers becasue they needed the money.  It may not have
been enough, as I understand they aren't operating at all this season.

There is a clear and defined process for getting snowboarding allowed at
MRG.  A certain % of shareholders must vote to allow it.  Buy a share and
you get to vote.  If 40,000 snowboarders each bought a share, then you might
be able to outlaw skiing there.  As the business world goes, you can't get
much more democratic than that.

Everyone chill.  I'm sure we'll pick somewhere that offers equal-opportunity
snow recreation.
