Poaching Alta Top-To-Bottom - Snowboarding the SKI ONLY resort

[@hsidder]

Ah ha ha ha, love it. Love the skiers comments. 🤣😭 “That’s how it’s done!!”

[@SteepTurns]

You’re a legend for this. Love it.

[@BoredProgression]

🤘 This should be just a typical run in the wasatch.

[@zman7689]

This is such a great experience on a nice day. Highly recommend to anybody who is an advanced rider. The hike is not bad, maybe 20-30 minutes depending on your pace. Definitely a fun ride down in the main resort area. Definitely got some weird looks from some of the skiers but most were pretty pumped. Easy to take the bus back down to Snowbird to continue the day too.

[@BoredProgression]

@@zman7689 exactly. 👍

[@AltaSnowboardTeam]

This is one of the routes home for many Alta snowboarders if the chutes are open. There are many snowboarders in Alta and it is not uncommon to snowboard down through on a regular basis. Good work.

[@samuelleblanc3441]

Omfg The forbidden fruit! Im proud of you, keep on your great work

Love it! Nice work!

[@BoredProgression]

Thanks brudda!

[@Discernftw]

YEEWWWWW! Love seeing these video drops! Thanks for the work you're putting in!

[@BoredProgression]

Thanks my dude!

[@canyonwonder]

This can be lapped from Snowbird with all of a 100 yard walk on a flatish road. No need for a car shuttle. The Baldy chutes are legit!

[@BoredProgression]

Most definitely.

[@Shred1904]

Awesome vid Dan! Props to filmer not a straightforward one filming a steep chute. Views are insane too

[@BoredProgression]

Thanks Rav! Austin is the man. You'll have to come back & do this one!

[@terrilvanhemert]

Epic!!

[@MattMottershead]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Alta made a settlement in the lawsuit against them that says snowboarders can use the slopes (because that is government land) but can use the lifts.

[@BoredProgression]

There was no settlement. It’s always been that way as far as I know. The courts decided in that lawsuit that snowboarders essentially weren’t a group of people being excluded and that they can get on the lifts with Alta’s “preferred equipment”. Pretty sure nothing changed after the lawsuit.

[@ericvandereems6604]

I think the expectation when people watch this will be that Alta skiers will heckle and boo you out of the resort, but I think this shows that people are so chill and even excited to see you snowboarding there!

[@BoredProgression]

Idk if I’d say excited, but they definitely weren’t hostile this time around.

[@Gary-np7hl]

Back in the day, 2000s to early 10s. Everyone would point at you and yell “poacher” and if they got the attention of nearby ski patrol, you’d kindly get escorted down the mountain. Know lotsa folks who’ve done it, still haven’t myself.

[@daneg]

looked like an absolutely beautiful day to hit that particular mountain. (I almost said "ski" a couple times in formulating that sentence! 😄)

[@BoredProgression]

Perfect conditions

[@brianmadeux3521]

Hilariously awesome, nice top to bottom run it doesnt even look like you tired at all. I am an avid skier

[@BoredProgression]

Thanks man! 🫶 ⛷️

[@leviwarr4490]

Yo I love this. Make Alta allow snowboarding. I ski and I wanna be able to rip with all my boarding homies at Alta! I doesn’t matter how many pieces of wood you have on your feet.

[@BoredProgression]

Preach Levi! I wanna rip Alta with you too dude.

[@tetra8909]

Alta now is a lot nicer it seems... chill family vibes from the resort mostly. deer valley is a bit more hostile to snowboarders...

[@BoredProgression]

I’ll have to do a Deer Valley top-to-bottom and see. 😛

[@tetra8909]

@@BoredProgression many roads you can drop in at or drop in from park cityMR!

[@anev23]

You can snowboard Alta at any time, there are no restrictions, you just can't ride the lifts. As long as uphill is open. it's fair game. I'm a skier/ snowboarder (there are more of us than you think) and love Alta. That said, it would be a TERRIBLE place to ride a snowboard. We have a joke that Alta stands for Another Long Traverse Ahead, and it's true. There's so much incredible terrain there but 90% of it is accessed by traversing/ hiking. It would suck on a snowboard. Deer valley is another story. That would be a great place to snowboard.

[@BoredProgression]

I’ve toured all over Alta and it’s not a “TERRIBLE” place to ride a snowboard. Yes, there’s a lot of flats and traverses but that’s a “TERRIBLE” excuse to say snowboarders aren’t missing anything. I have a blast every time I ride there. If it really is that bad, then opening it up to snowboarding won’t change the mountain at all. After a season or less, snowboarders would figure that out and continue to ride elsewhere.

[@andrew-g7y4u]

Truth, sounds like a lame excuse.

[@alwaysbecarving]

Amazing run. It looks so steep. Did my first black last weekend. So scary. 🔥

[@BoredProgression]

Awesome dude! It’s quite steep. Alta actually doesn’t have double black diamonds on their trails so this is equivalent to one.

[@johngacy6367]

I did this Friday. Best run of the trip. A few people yelled at us but fuck skiers

[@BoredProgression]

Hahaha.

[@stefangonzo]

Very nice. Represent!

[@BoredProgression]

🤜🤛

[@SteveThompson-li2fc]

Great vid but I’m not sure why you would want to drop into Alta anyway - Snowbird is superior. JMO.

[@BoredProgression]

Snowbird is definitely better but Alta’s like a mini snowbird or Snowbird.5 Baldy chutes alone are worth it.

[@Gary-np7hl]

Hell yeah! I’d have to know that the snow is good coming down that chute not to embarrass myself. Last time I was up there, I was just going to scan my ikon pass at the top of baldy and just go through the gates. Someone gave me a heads up of a flat spot half way down where I might have to skate. That would make for another embarrassing moment. You did the snowboard community proud! If I ever run into you up there… I’m always down and goldminers daughter on me. Heard some good things about the place. It would be cool walking in with snowboard boots.

[@BoredProgression]

You got it, Gary! Austin & I almost walked in lol.

[@Andrew.Drennan]

I mean I wish Alta allowed snowboarders but man I expected a bit harder ripping haha. Side slipping parts of main don't help the snowboard cause

[@BoredProgression]

Keeping pace for the filmer was the priority. I’d hardly call this side-slipping.

[@Shred1904]

​@BoredProgression so agree, can't ride at 100% when there's a filmer to worry about too!

[@rolansereny7565]

Dooode yaaaassssss!!! So awesome!!!!!!!

[@BoredProgression]

Yeah dawggy!! 🙌 You’ll have to join us next time!

[@adamweb]

Never understood why Alta and Deer Valley still don't allow snowboards, what a dumb rule! If you stick around will they kick you out or just not let you on the lifts?

[@austyfrosty94]

They won't let you load lifts with a snowboard

[@BoredProgression]

They just won’t let you on the lifts.

[@danmullin]

I am a skier and I enjoy skiing both Alta and Deer Valley but their snowboard exclusion has nothing to do with why I enjoy skiing DV or Alta. In fact it is embarrassing explaining to people when they come visit me in Utah that two of three resorts in the US that exclude snowboards and their mostly middle aged responsible riders are in Utah. Most think it is weird. It is. The snowboard discrimination is just another culture oddity in the Beehive state. Oh well. Great video.

[@spencerethington]

I think the main reason alta doesn't allow it is because it's already very crowded, and most of the terrain is accessed by traverses. Deer valley is a terrible resort so you wouldn't wanna go there

[@kevinhella7287]

Yessss

[@couchpotatoinc]

4:47 still a valid excuse cause 85% of snowboarders don’t have the skill to go fast enough for the flats.

[@BoredProgression]

Doesn’t justify banning them. They’d naturally stop going there if it wasn’t fun getting stuck that much

[@Red1676]

Most the flats isn't a problem, only snowboarders that can't handle them is beginners. Hell, even the better snowboarders can usually ride entire runs one foot, couple flats won't do anything.

[@vaughnoutdoor]

REBELS! Awesome Dan and Austin! We have some new all white VO’s for Austin, and you too Dan if you want some!

[@kylebruna142]

Now do the High T

[@BoredProgression]

I’ve done it and high boy

[@nick-rl1xt]

Wait so how did he get up there

[@BoredProgression]

He (I) explain it in the first few seconds of the video. I’m gonna release a tutorial on how to do it step by step though.

[@whereisWALDOat]

Hike up High Baldy Traverse from Snowbird. Where you would normally strap in after the around 10 minute hike there's a gate to your right that gives you access to the top of Baldy with another 15 minutes of hiking. Once at the top you can hit Living the Dream back into Mineral Basin or a variety of chutes that drop you into Alta.

[@BigPurpleSkiSuit]

Make Alta Snowboard again

[@BoredProgression]

Amen brother. 🫡

[@eugorov13]

I haven't done the hiking portion of this slope before on my board but the resort terrain in alta was enjoyable! Poaching ALTA ftw! #altasnowboardclub I always do it as my last run if my family (skiers) are spending the day at alta

[@BoredProgression]

Yeewww! Love it!
