Sure you can. I grew up riding there, most of my friends snowboarded, and the traverses never stopped any of us. Our skiing buddies had to wait for us, of course, but we still made it.

There actually was a terrain park a few years back, skier's left on Quicksilver. I recall it lasting one or two seasons and no-one used it.

Lift's especially for snowboarder's... I cant think of one. Gadget's we'll there's a bunch. Map's on safety bar's, Map's on foot rest's, Foot rest's for snowboarder's that attach to foot rest's. But a lift for snowboarder's? I'll bet it will be designed at a MT. that cater's mostly to boarder's... I hope it's soon cause i ride goofy foot and what work's for me is siting all the way to the left and riding off the lift to the left, or siting with my board Reg... It's pretty funny to see a lift attendent's face when i ride switch off a lift... I think it's more that boarder's need to learn how to sit in a chair' and unload correctly... Goofy to the left and regular foot to the right and sorry but siting with skier's next to us is alway's awkward because your comfortable and i'm not getting off a lift. We have to be on edge and that means left or right... I can't make a pizza wedge sorry just can't do it... If a boarder is in the middle and there's a crowd at the top they drag a toe and end up doin a complete 90 on the ramp screw'in everyone up... What do ya think???

Well, I think a magic carpet is the closet we're going to get.

Lifts for snowboarders are the same as for skiers, but put one less person on than normal. Which makes it a nicer ride up and an easier time getting off the chair.

Rope tows are bad for snowboarders.
