Ok let me start of with a little background. I ski at a small hill on the east coast (1700' vertical). we basically have no park and the mountain is almost stagnant. The management will go pretty much all out for tourists but they treat the locals (especially anyone under 30) as 2nd rate skiers. We do however have aewsome snow for being this far east, making for great backcountry, and since we don't have any jumps, or tree skiing it drives us into the bc to look for the type of skiing we enjoy. So anyway Yesterday we hiked about 15min to do a nice pow run ( 3'of fluff) through the trees on the backside of the hill. We went with a group of 7. when we got to the top, 5 of the guys in the group started to drop in. I still had to defog my goggles so me and my buddy jon dropped in less then a min later. we were looking for their tracks and they must have been looking for us. we ended up going wayyyy to the left of where the trail came out and way left of the hill. this was at about 4pm by the way, 30min before closing. so anyway to make a long story short we knew where we were going but we also knew it was a damn long walk to get there. so 2.5 hours of hike/skiing later we made it to the bottom where we were greated by a few patrolers who brought us inside after asking us if we we're alright. The manager had a few things to say to us. Basically he flipped out (didn't show any concern, didn't even offer us a drink even though we were dehydrated) about us going into the bc, told us the rcmp and search and rescue as well as our parents had been notified, and there we're people snowshoeing through the woods looking for us. he took our passes on the spot. Fine. It was definatly a stupid move heading into the bc that late even though we knew it was really only a 10 min run out. And I appriciate the help of all the patrolers, nice to know that they are there and dedicated if youre really in trouble. So now we are banned from the hill untill further notice. we all have a meeting with the management in 2 weeks to decide what they are going to do with us. It's basically gauranteed that we will be gone for the season, possible for life. Anyway, I don't want to turn this meeting into us pleeding for our passes back. I would rather go in and make some strong points and leave with a bit of pride instead of my pass. It's sad that it took something like this to be able to talk to the management but I don't want it to be a wasted opportunity. I want to bring up some points on why we go in the bc in the first place. Lack of terrain (park, tree skiing, challanging runs, etc). and how they can help. so on that note does any one have any ideas of issues to bring up? I don't want to blame them for us having to resort to hiking in the bc but I want them to understand why we do it.

im going to make a suggestion and i know that your pride is your pride, but its a seasons pass that im sure you worked hard for. how much longer is left in the ski season? a month or two? are you willing to keep your pride and miss 2 months worth of skiing? maybe you are, and if you do all the power to you, but for me if i was put in the situation, id suck up like mad for my pass back.
my guess is that the management will not give a rats ass about your points, no matter how good they are. 'here are some skiers who are breaking the rules and they are coming in and bring up points on whats wrong with my mountain?' is what they are going to be thinking at the meeting. the fact is that they want you and expect you to come in, bend down, and start sucking.
well, i wish you all the best of luck and i hope that you choose what you feel is the right way to go about it

load up your six guns and bust into the meeting with your guns a blazin. Take down as many as you can before you go down yourselves. If your gonna go out, at least go out in a blaze of glory.

That really sucks, but then again, not just anyone can say there 'banned for life' from a ski resort, Shane McConkey and some other people can, it's like having your hands registered as deadly weapons.

It wasn't a good call to leave so late and shit but u didn't do anything illegal or against policy it was just a bad call and the fact they didn't even get u guys checked out when u finally got back is just ignorant.
I am a skier because skiing needs a future

**************************
the best idea ever was the one that was diabolicly hatched today at lunch in the hall way of my school. It involved a boat and beer and selling that beer to 14 yearolds for like $3 a bottel, so that way from every 24 we got, we would get 12 and then never have to pay for our own beer again. and if the poilice tried to stop us, we were drive away in a boat (which doesnt have a licence plate) but, if there were on a baot, we were throw peanuts at them, cause its highly probable that one of them in alergic to then and he would go into anaphletic shock and we were get away. if that didnt work we were catapult cows at them and wait for the headlines 'police boat sunk by flying cows'. --Apple.
