Personalized I Love You More The End I Win Irish Mug

 These days, with snowboarding just as much of a mainstream sport as skiing (and even upstaging its more established big brother at the Winter Olympics) it can be hard to imagine a time when snowboarders weren't welcome on ski hills. A few years ago, however, I got a small flavour of what that era must have been like – and perhaps what the present-day might have been like, too, had it not been for Carpenter’s perseverance. Personalized I Love You More The End I Win Irish Mug

On a press trip to Park City in Utah in 2013, I was invited to visit Deer Valley – an exclusive ski resort where a lift ticket now sets you back well over $200 a day in peak season, and which still operates a no snowboarding policy. Wearing all my baggy snowboard gear while padding around the "fire garden" of the swanky St Regis Deer Valley hotel (imagine a large rockery lit up like a Kuwaiti oil field during the first Gulf War) I felt distinctly out of place. I was allowed to ride a chairlift sans snowboard in order to scope out some of the pistes, but I was politely informed that if I wanted to use my plank I'd have to head back to the more cosmopolitan slopes of Park City. That evening, at the elegant Glitretind restaurant at Deer Valley's Stein Eriksen Lodge, in spite of the best efforts of my very welcoming hosts, I couldn't help feeling a little like Happy Gilmore gatecrashing a function at the R&A.

Thanks to Jake Burton Carpenter, resorts that continue to ban snowboards are now the exception rather than the rule, and there can be no doubt that the sport of snowboarding has attracted a much more diverse range of people to the mountains. So, if you’re a snowboarder – or even a skier who thinks snowboarders have made the slopes more interesting – don’t forget to raise a glass to Jake on Saturday.
