Dear new MHM management
I have heard of your plans to increase safety in terrain parks, and I applaud your efforts! I have seen too many kids suffer life changing injuries as a result of poorly designed parks, I and many other skiers and boarders enjoy recreating in these parks and therefore I on behalf of the young (14-27) season pass holders, I want to sit the record straight.
We the youth, are cheap. We wear baggy clothes and parents for their children’s sake, are frightened of us. We are not MHM’s ideal customer; but we offer a service no other group provides, we provide a sense of community. We come every day of the year [minus school hours (minus “sick days)]. We provide atmosphere from the lift line through the lodge. Though we may be cheap, we spend as much as we can. And are parents are not, and we have their credit cards! And we actually are nice, even though parents are intimidated.
We are at risk of leaving MHM forever, and the change will be noticeable, never again will a naked skier bless your slopes. The very change you seek to save our lives may force us to leave yours, if you set unreasonable park limitations we will leave, and will not return for the 40+ years remaining of our skiing lives.
We understand responsibility and do not deny that reasonable restrictions must be made, we only ask that the following be entertained as the possible limits.
