Ski Resorts take out Suggestive Pictures on Snowboards


A half-dozen ski resorts in New England and the West are joining in protests against two new lines of snowboards that feature images of Playboy models and cartoons of self-mutilation.

Why do people want a almost naked girl on their snowboard? Its not like they want to become "excited" when they are snowboarding. It doesn't make sense. Is it a pride thing that men just have to show that they love women? In particular half naked women?

Smugglers' Notch in Vermont says it has banned employees from using the Love and Primo boards made by Burton Snowboards.

Vail Resorts has prohibited employees of its Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and Keystone resorts in Colorado and California's Heavenly Mountain from using the Love boards or any other inappropriate, offensive or suggestive equipment while on duty.

The boards also led to a demonstration last week outside Burton's headquarters in Burlington, Vt.

Burton CEO Laurent Potdevin says the company supports freedom of artistic expression and stands by the boards.
