What type of snowboards are allowed at Afton Alps?
Snowboards are required to have metal edges, bindings, and a retention device to prevent runaway equipment. We also recomment a stomp pad so that your free foot will not slip off the the board when you get off the chairlift or wonder carpet. What can happen if I bounce, swing the chairlift, or push off too agressively when dismounting the chair. The cable that holds the chairlift can bounce out of the tracks. The chair that is swinging can hit a tower or a support. If the above happens, the chairlift can become damaged and the people on the chairlift may need to be evacuated with ropes. Please refrain from bouncing or swinging on the chairlift for your and others safety.
