I looked that up a couple of yrs ago. I think there are only two mts that don't allow boards in the U.S. If my memory serves me well, one in New Mexico and one in VT but I could be wrong too. I totally agree btw. The mt I ski regularly has fenced off an area of jumps and ramps for boarders. You have to watch a vid and pay to get in. It helps relieve the rest of the mt from the crazies. I've also noticed, boarders seem to be more courteous than in the past. When they first appeared, they'd plop themselves in front of the lift line gates to untie or what ever the hell they were doing and it was sometimes impossible to get to the chair. It just was the thing they did. I was polite at first, but then tripped one day over a board. After that the gloves came off. I complained loudly to management, and started telling them to move GD it. They don't do that anymore. They just weren't taught basic ski etiquette, but us skiers are teaching them and they seem to be learning.
