IF you know your mountain has the money for a park what might be an effective way to convince them to get a park? My home mountain is pathetic and doesn't have one!

They'll only build a park if they have the people to build it and the equipment to make stuff.

same at my mountain ur mountain probably wants to keep it old school. Its also a huge liability. I suggested park passes, but no deal.

dude you need to offer up some labour, say you'll help making it, but theres also a liability issue they might not like but the park pass idea that this guy came up with ^ might do the trick

ask if you could build the rails, jumps, boxes yourself or as a community and ask the mountains permission to set then up

yeah i emailed them last week and they havent responded yet. Crystal lost a little last year...actaully a lot. But this year we gained so much profit its not even funny, and we're opening up the backcountry to lifts. IT SUCKS. I suggested to them, why not build a park? but no reply. If ur in the midwest or east coast they might be more relaxed about parks.
