Need ideas for Proposal for park

I am writing a proposal to my hill whitewater about a park and this is what i have so far. Any ideas you have just post them. i have also got a petition going.
Just the other day you released the plans for the hill over the next 25 years. I was moderately pleased with the ideas. One thing that struck me that was not there was plans for a terrain park. This baffles me. A terrain park would be a great edition to Whitewater for many different reasons. Over the last few years my friends and I have been noticing that more and more younger kids are heading out into the backcountry with little or no skills or knowledge to be out there. The reason they are headed out there is to build jumps. I know this as a fact. They are going to get hurt because they do not have the experience or the air sense that a park would allow kids to improve on. My friends and I go out to build jumps all the time with good knowledge about the dangers of skiing out of bounds, but this year alone with have had 4 injuries between us, good skiers and snowboarders. Imagine what might happen with younger kids. A park would keep kids in bounds and away from danger. Also another thing is that we get bored at the mountain. Yes, we do get great snow most of the year but there are those times where all we do is ski the same runs for weeks on end. A park would attract so many more people, especially kids, to come to whitewater. I know a lot of kids who do not buy passes because of the lack of a park. I have heard from many reliable sources that you are dead against parks. Why is this? I know liability is a big thing but a great way to get money for that is to charge for the park. When people buy a seasons pass, have an extra charge to be allowed in the park. I guarantee that all of the kids I know why ski and board would pay that extra money, up to about $40 more. A Park would also attract a lot of tourists here. Great snow, great terrain, and a great park.

i don't know how well a petition would work because my bet is it would be hard to find enough people for them to take it seriously.
try filming kids leaving for the backcountry or all of the jumps built out there

I wouldn't talk about kids getting hurt on the hits in the back country, one reason resorts are hesitant about parks is they figure more kids are going to get hurt within their resort boundaries.

Tell them that having a park is safer than having kids build there own jumps because a park is consistent and monitored.

Here is the revamped version of it for ya..
Just the other day you released the plans for the hill over the next 25 years. I was moderately pleased with the ideas. One thing that struck me that was not there was plans for a terrain park. This baffles me. A terrain park would be a great addition to Whitewater for many different reasons.
Over the last few years my friends and I have going out into the backcountry to build jumps and are capable with dealing with situations that arise. Avalanche danger, rocks in landings, bad jumping spots and other important observations. We have been noticing that more and more younger kids are heading out also with very little skill or knowledge about the terrain that they are in and totally surrounded by. The reason they are headed out there is to build jumps. I know this as a fact. They are going to get hurt because they do not have the experience or the air sense that a park would allow kids to improve on. My friends and I go out to build jumps all the time with the knowledge about the dangers of skiing out of bounds, but this year alone we have had 4 injuries between us, because out there the stakes are much higher. Imagine what might happen with younger kids. A park would keep kids in bounds and away from danger.
Another thing is that we get bored at the mountain. Yes, we do get great snow most of the year but there are those times where all we do is ski the same runs for weeks on end. It would add much enjoyment to our ski season and bring tourists all the way up to the last weekend. A park would attract so many more people, especially kids, to come to Whitewater. I know a lot of kids who do not buy passes because of the lack of a park. A Park would also attract a lot of tourists here. Great snow, great terrain, and a great park, this is a winning combination. If you have not noticed, most mountains that are a decent size have parks. Parks bring people to the mountains.
Tending to the park on a daily basis is not mandatory. I know you are saying that with all the snow that we get, grooming the park would take a lot of effort and money. Well then, during the time that it snows a lot groom every few days. It does not really matter that much. We will all be just skiing on those days. Possibly even groom twice a week. Fridays would be good so the park for the weekend would be well set up. Tuesday is another prime day because not too many people come during the week so grooming it for one day would probably be fine for the rest of the week.
I have heard from many reliable sources that you are dead against parks. Why is this? I know liability is a big thing but a great way to get money is to charge for the park. When people buy a seasons pass, have an extra charge to be allowed in the park. I guarantee that all of the kids I know why ski and board would pay that extra money to have full admission into a park.
Kids are wanting to do more jumps because of the recent explosion of twin tip skis. For kids that are under seventeen, this is all that we have known since we have been seriously into skiing. All of the big name movies have terrain parks and jumps. This is the direction that skiing is heading and you should embrace it. If you are worried about kids hurting themselves all you have to worry about is the design of a park. If a park is designed well then accidents are down to a minimum. I have visited many other mountains in the past two years and gone out of my way to ask patrols how many accidents that they have in the park. It is shocking that it is not that many. It is mostly people that have no experience at all in skiing that do not know how handle the park.

for a shitty little hill in northern alberta we never had a park until 2 years ago when me and a few buddies got a petition and we got people to sign sign sign and in 5 months we had our very first terrian park, and this year it has progressed so much, and next year there is going to be a begginer and advanced like this year but also a new run made for the northern extreme freestlye team with some wikked terrain....also we are getting water ramps opening july 1st, I think for 3 years our little city has progressed so very very much PEACE

Mix it up a little, I think the word park is just a little overused. Sometimes say 'terrain park' and where it makes sense say something as simple as 'it'

yeah it would be cool for wh20 to get a park but i dont think we will. whitewater would have to upgrade their insurance and that cost a lot of fucking money any ways they tried to get on in 96 but a week later it snowed 5 feet and buried it. i hope your leter works

you could mention hosting contests and how that will draw media attention, and show how magazines such as freeze will will give them attention for having a park. and maybe show a stat of how many resorts have park vs how many do not, show them its mainstream to have park

maybe they realized that since your get feet or pow per week, having a park is relatively useless because they would have to be digging it out all the time.
sacrifice, to some its just a word, to others it is a code, what matters is the colony, he is willing to live for the colony, fight for the colony, die for the colony.

a: learn some grammar and how to spell
b: if you're mountain's really that weak, theyre not going to know how to groom a park and it's probably going to suck and you're better off in the b/c with a little extra cash in you pockets and a little less pain from racking yourself. good luck anyway.

i agree with crystal needs. if this letter does anything, it will convince the owners of the mountain to either a) donate all of their profits to erradicating (look it up) illiteracy or b) kill themselves. either way the dice rolls, you aren't getting a park. so move to a place with a good park and quicherbitchin

hey fuck you buddy, i bet that you guys have a park at your mountain..and you have no idea what is like to have a mountain with so many opportunities of expansion or at least working better with the terrain that they have. On down weeks here all we do is ride the same 2 groomers for days on end and we do not have alot of vertical so as you can clearly understand it gets boring.
