Camp Of Champions Disrespect.

so, i dont know if anybody caught it, unfortunatly i just got to a computer and they deleted it. but, the Camp of Champions facebook page posted a picture of a kids (fake) pass (uncensored with picture and full name).... the caption basically said "poachers get passes pulled and will get hot listed. #thanksforcomingout "

it blew up on facebook getting about 70 people commenting about how COC handled this. personally i thought it was brutal. i dont know what they were thinking, but it made them look incredibly un-professional.

earlier today, they also posted a picture of momentum's lift line with the caption "Momentum's lift line is pretty crazy today. #wheresyourhotlapnow" this image didn't blow up. however, I found that was quite childish and apperantly alot of people did too. there were about 60 people saying about how they arent going to go to COC and they would rather go to windells. but that really isnt a big deal.

heres the link to the instagram feed. with both pictures.

anyways, what do fellow NS'ers think about this?

Hahaha

I'll let some other people handle this but I've two questions for you...

1. Do you really think that if there are these outside investors, that they would care enough to make a poor financial decision like pulling out of being invested in one of the world's most famous and longest running ski/snowboard camps?

2. Do you really think that in the early 90s, when COC started up, when they were compressed between another snowboard camp and racing lanes, that they had to worry about costs like helicopters, cats and the wages of dozens of diggers and coaches?

Man you're just proving time and time again why the guys who have been running a successful camp for 20 years should take the advice from a random UK kid who was still in his dad's nut sack when the camp started.

good for COC. i mean it sucks to be the guy who gets caught poaching and gets publicly humiliated but he's pretty much asking for it when he tries to get one over on the people who pay for this stuff, COC and campers included.

Thats not poaching thats just down right reckless. Seriously is there any need to destroy a golf course like that? I'm not trying to be some big bitch, but seriously whats the point of that?

Shit, the hypocrisy and idiot ideas that come out on this site. Same shit happens every thread. Everyone acts all hard and skiing should be crazy and cool agaian, but then bitch about every little fucking thing skiing related.

I feel as if my IQ goes lower each time I login. Seriously.

I wonder how COC's action has affected the number of poachers.

as one who goes to whistler in the summer, coc has a line much longer than the one momentum and numerous other camps use

What they should have done was just post "Poachers get their passes pulled" and left it at that, or a similar post. There was no need to post the kids name or a picture of his pass.

You must be the most stupid person on NS.

You get in to a discussion regarding professionalism in business, then try to call out someone who challenges your reasoning, by posting what you thought were pictures of him. Turns out it's not him, which illustrates that you are stupid and shit at doing your research. You then get asked two legitimate questions regarding the discussion. In stead of responding to those questions, you disregard them (because you are stupid) and ask two stupid rhetorical questions, where strangely enough the answers are the opposite of what you think they are. I'll show you. The answer to the questions are:

1. Yes, business decisions are made on that basis every day. You would know this if you weren't so stupid.

2: Yes, they indeed had to worry about costs back then. Maybe not helicopters and dozens of diggers, but they were a company then, as they are now, and running a company has costs. Again, this is something that non stupid people know. Which explains why you didn't.

So a kid gives his advice and it turns out his advice is so bad that it in no way relates to COC. That kid now wants me to explain how things works at operations like that. What am I going to do? Give an explanation to some jackass HS kid that's trying to give a camp that's been running longer than he's been alive business advice, or just to let him squirm in his ignorance and maybe someone will feel bad enough to stomp him with the boot of knowledge? I prefer the latter.

I fail to see how posting the wrong picture of some kid that I could care less about on a forum has anything to do with the ability to research, but I guess that's the mentality of you kids.

I think its awesome that you're trying to defend your fellow kid who knows absolutely nothing about this particular subject. Its adorable.

SQUIRM YOU IGNANT WORMS! SQUIRM!!!

I see your ability to give bullshit answers have not suffered under your seemingly dangerously low IQ. Calling people kids, and giving elaborate descriptions of what you don't want to do doesn't really make you look nearly as cool as you think it does, in fact it makes you look stupid. That is not surprising though.

Well you care enough about the kid to go onto his profile, find a picture that's not of him, and post it in the belief that it will belittle him, and strengthen your position. It has to do with your ability to do research, because it shows that you are not even capable of performing the most basic tasks of researching something, such as using the internet. Probably because you're stupid.

That took 10 clicks and less than 30 seconds... yeah, man that's a whole lot of giving a poop.

So wait, if I did care about the kid, which he is and you apparently are, that much, wouldn't I have taken the extra time to look through his other stuff to make sure that I got the right picture? I don't get it... I guess my masters in business with a minor in economics brain is too dumb to figure out your brilliant logic.

Flaunting degrees now are we! That must be the saddest attempt at internet ego boosting i've ever seen. You come on here calling everyone stupid and kids, and now you try to prove your "adultness" by claiming education, pathetic.

And congratulations, you found a picture of me, you learned from your mistakes and are now a little less stupid.
