This is a good time to start rallying the troops. Since the powers that be seem to think snowboarders are a group of poor dirty skaters who have no access to the world media, don't you think we should show them exactly how we feel about this. Personally, we believe there are only two tracks the Olympic Organizers can take: one, force Park City to open to snowboarding this year or lose the events; or two, move the events to a mountain (like Snow Basin) that already allows snowboarding.
