yeah I actually knew that about how there was only one cat to groom all the parks. that sucks and it's not your fault obviously. I also heard something I'm not sure was true about how the park crew wasn't really paid? Never sure if that was true or not but it would make sense. I guess I've been spoiled by skiing wv and loon every weekend/vacation of my life up until this past season. both have dope parks that are changed up quite a bit.

but yeah, i stand by what i said. sorry if it came off as disrespectful.  I know quite a few riders who thought the same things about the parks that I voiced here. I know they had a park meeting a few weeks ago but is there anyone we can email or talk to about getting more space or money for a park?

No worries, I didn't feel you were disrespectful, like I said I welcome all comments, I'll only resopond to thoes who are respectful. Yea, comming from Loon And WV I can see it would be tough, hard to compare. Yes, some of my rangers are not paid, some are, it was either have a ranger only some of the week or get some vol staff and have more rangers for the whole week, I did what I could with what I had.

As far as who to email, well you have me but I think if someone would organize a mass email (respectfully) to Stowe info (from website) and let them know how you feel. I say things year after year but sometimes they need to hear it from other sources for it to sink in.

Hey just a thought, even if I get more $$$$ for Rangers, I still see a need for more, if anyone is interested send me an I.M. we can talk over the summer, I need more skiers.

I'd so be down, just hate the no poaching while on the job rule, that is the killer for me. I can't set something up, craft it perfectly and then not hit it.

we will see, I kinda have a ton of other stuff going on currently and if things keep going the way they are it might be hard to even find time to ski next season.
