Besides scraping up the snow in general, they can really mess up bump runs because they travel through them a lot differently than skiers.

- MichaelZuo 4y agoCouldn't ski resorts just charge snowboarders more to make up for the extra grooming costs?
- jlarocco 4y agoThey do, and that grooming cost is indirectly covered by the lift ticket prices or the event sponsors. But the run will still be closed for a while, because it doesn't make sense to continually groom the run leading up to and during competition or practice. Generally it's not closed to just snowboarders, but to anybody who isn't involved with the event. At least that's how they do it here in CO.
