So this smaller hill near Tremblant is going up for sale called grey rocks...and if everyone on NS was to donate a certain amount of cash I'm pretty sure that they could buy it and make an official NS hill...IE rider owned which would = sick fucking park as well as parties and vibes who thinks this should happen

I'm sure NS could rig up some cheap flights and such for people to go to it I think it's the next logical step for NS I mean I live in Kelowna but I would cross the country to the Ice coast to ski at an NS mountain

im pretty sure people brought this up before with a different mountain, but i agree it would be super sick, and id def throw in some cash, but its a shame i live in alaska as well, i think we should go for somthing more popular like..... whistler! its very reasonably priced i herd

it would be sick, but i mean... hardly anyone will be able to get there... plus it does cost a shit load to run a mountain, let alone buy it....

none of you must know how much money it takes to buy, run, and maintain a ski hill/ lodge. no way we would be able to raise enough money as a site, unless the donations per person equal around 3-4 hundo

grey rocks is a hill? I thought it was like a hotel or something. i just saw it on the news( im in montreal, i come up every year for christmas) but i didnt understand much because i dropped french class this year.

its a good idea but we'd have to compete with avila and they have a dope ass park

they have parks at mountains in colorado... i dont think you need NS to make one... plus it would be a cluster fuck of suggestions, and once again, hardly anyone would go...

How bout like NS sponsors some comps?

youre an idiot

ok lets all pool some money!

then what, where does the money for electricity and power come from? what about staff?

and why would i want to drive like 8 hrs, when i can ski at a mountain 50 mins away?

dude, with 10,000 people we could just petition for money. no need to rob. but there is no way we could do that. we should just have a take over days at some ski area for a week. that would be dope.

i'll pitch in as much as you need me to, but if and only if it's at Tremblant where i'll be able to afford coming there to ski it maybe once every other year.

im not going to knock the idea because it would be amazing to have an NS mountain and maybe even have the office and Store near by but unfortunetly the money just isn't there. even if we all donated money from our own pockets it would only be the tip of the iceberg! maybe if one of u guys become multimillionairs you could buy a mountain for newschoolers!
