Ski Resorts ban Burton Snowboards because of the Graphics

Several ski resorts have banned employees from using two different lines of Burton Snowboards while on the job. The Love line has a former Playboy model on it and the Primo line shows a cartoon character mutilating himself.

The resorts have the right to do this because they are a private organization/business and have the right to restrict service or what their employees wear. Similar to the requirement that an employer will require an employee to wear a specific uniform the employer has the right to tell an employee not to wear or in this case ride a specific board.

At present three eastern resorts and Vail Resorts 5 ski areas are banning the specific boards.

Several Ski and Snowboard shops are also not going to sell the controversial boards. Ski Shops Won’t Sell Controversial Snowboards

It is one way to get press for you company.
