As far as I know it's up to management to clip tickets and not the patrol on brimacombe....

what will happen if they see me doing flips, do they give you a warning or take your pass?

which hill has the best park? i like a mix of kickers and rails.

Most places remove your pass for doing inverts. Brimacombe will remove it.

Most resorts (in Canada) do not allow inverts, regardless of what people will claim.

I'm not going to get into this debate, but we all need to understand that Terrain Parks often come under fire, if you like parks, and want resorts to be able to keep building them. Be smart about how you use them. Please follow the rules, they are there to ensure we can continue to build parks and reduce the incidents that negatively effect them.  

North America is VERY different than Eruope, you will find that there are more rules that resorts must abide by for a number of reasons.

Krashed, you are right, Management looks after ticket removal etc at Brimacombe, but the Canadian Ski Patrol is a Pro active organization, part of their mandate is to actively promote safety and incindent prevention.

I'd tell you who has the best park, but I'm a little biased. :)

Just wondering, what is your position at Brim? I may swing by and say hello once I get out on the hill.

Yes, lift tickets will still be $20.

We have three runs open, Standard, Bunny Blvd. and Bambi.

We will not have a park open yet, but we are blowing snow in both.
