I have seen some people doing this "snowboarding" and became curious about
it.  The snowboard is a short, wide ski that you stand on sort of like a
skateboard (with feet roughly perpendicular to board).  There are crude
strap bindings that look like snowshoe bindings.

I am interested in hearing about experiences people have had on these, what
the equipment is like, and what areas allow or forbid this activity.

I know here in Oregon I have seen them at Mt Bachelor and at Mt Hood
Meadows.  I believe they are not allowed at Mirror Mountain.  (How can they
tell you what kind of "ski" you can use?  Pretty soon, they'll tell you what
brands are permitted?")

It seems to me this would be a fun sort of skiing to try, but it looks only
applicable in softer snow or powder.  Do the boards have edges?  Do they
work on harder snow?
