Replying to If you're under 18, don't plan to go to retallak...

My family and I had pretty big plans to go ski up retallak (spelling?) in march.  i'm sixteen years young, and i'm a damn good skier as far as actually being able to, uhm, ski. anywho, we make our reservations and such 5 months ahead, and just about 2 months before our trip is schedualed we get a call telling us that i can't go because i'm too young.  I understand the liability and such and yadda yadda, but my mom asked about sean and kye skiing there.  the lady on the phone said "oh, that only happened once, and it won't ever happen again because it's soo much of a liability.  i'm sorry, but not matter how good you claim your son is, he can't go."  Soo we cancelled our trip and had to look elsewhere.   i made this thread because i just finished checking out all the pictures of team oakley, in which sean is seen at retallak resort. 
Awesome.  I understand the liability, but (excuse my bluntness...) but i'm pretty confident i can ski (keyword, SKI, not jump/grind/whatever) better than sean.  again, excuse my claim, but it's for discussion.
discuss.  similar happenings elsewhere?
