Poaching (snowboarding)
Poaching originally refers to the act of illegally snowboarding at a resort where snowboards are explicitly prohibited. Poaching is intended as a form of protest against what snowboarders view as segregation and can be seen as a form of civil disobedience.
Very few resorts continue to ban snowboarders. By definition, poaching is the practice of snowboarding where it is disallowed, usage of this term as a mean of protest is falling out of use as most resorts now allow snowboarding. In the United States only three resorts: Deer Valley, Alta Ski Area (Both in Utah) and Mad River Glen in Vermont, continue to ban snowboarding. In contemporary usage, the term sometimes refers to skiing and snowboarding in out of bounds areas.
== Background ==
Even though snowboarding was accepted by the mainstream winter sports industry in the 1990s, and is now recognized as a Winter Olympic sport (debuting in 1998), ski areas adopted the sport at a much slower pace than the winter sports public. For many years, there was animosity between skiers and snowboarders, which lead to an ongoing skier vs snowboarder feud.〔(Skiers vs Snowboaders: The Dying Feud, SnowSphere.com )〕 Early snowboards were banned from the slopes by park officials. In 1985, only seven percent of U.S. ski areas allowed snowboarding, with a similar proportion in Europe. Because of this, snowboarders sought ways to protest of such treatment from resorts owners and to a lesser degree, other skiers. Indeed, the snowboarding way of life came about to rebel against skiing. As a result, snowboarders chose to "shock" skiers by snowboarding in a ski-only resort as protest.
