This is one of those cases where it is time to "vote with your wallet" : don't go there. Maybe let them know this change was the reason you decided not to go or cancel. It's a commercial company (at least that is what I guess). Petitions don't help. Actions that influence the bottom line do.

It wasn't that long ago when any bump big enough to get a good jump off would be blocked or flattened as soon as the ski patrol saw it. I was amazed when they started building the monstrousities they have now. Bob |

Neil- Masquer le texte des messages précédents - - Afficher le texte des messages précédents - AS long as you care... Maybe you should reconsider... There you have a lot of kids having fun, practicing what they like the most, they are not in the streets doing drugs, they are doing a sport... This sports has Athletes, is an Olympic Game... with no practice how can you train ? Also all snowboard industry can be influenced by some decision like this one, if people are not jumping anymore, then all the freestyle turn has come to an end and all the small shops that are surviving with snowboard industry. |

Lake Louise is a glorious mountain with tons of terrain. Maybe some of those kids who were risking their necks on tabletops can explore the rest of the mountain and learn how to turn. If they want to jump there's no shortage of natural hits. Neil |

If they fill in the tabletop so that jumpers are never more than a couple feet off the ground, even as they fly the same trajectory they fly now, the risk will be far less. It would eliminate the flat landings of people going too slow over the jump. Hey - I might even take this old body over them then. I always loved those hills where you could just go over them faster and faster until you lift off and land gently, eventually going 40-60 feet in the air while never being more than a fot or two high.

If you even been in Mont Ste-Anne or Stoneham, you would understand that we don't get much snow in winter so pretty much of the terrain is park rinding... Freestyle is aroung 80 % of snowboard industry... decisions like than can make a difference too... You just don't regulate how people should do snowboarding... are we still in a free country or what ? People will just go in Back Country and make jumps there... much more safer ... right |
