Seriously, why does anyone ski at this place. Did you need yet another reason? Well...
http://ramzee.net/Files/SSVStatementOfClaim.pdf
Long and short is that SSV is suing the fired ski patrollers for engaging in a campaign to try to discourage people from skiing at SSV (as if anyone really needed to be discouraged). Fun fact: Newschoolers is named in the lawsuit as a medium through which the alleged defamation took place.
1. There is just as good snow, and better terrain, elsewhere, and this is not about whether you like skiing there, it's about whether you're willing to give your money to scumbags when there are other equivalent alternatives that deserve it more.
2. Being a litigious dickwad is not the way to go about your business in the ski industry. We don't do that. It gets worse when you sue people because you did something that was generally perceived to be wrong and bad publicity results from what you did. That is the lowest form of slimy. Of course they generated bad publicity for the mountain - people were outraged at the conduct of the Scurfields. That is the fault of the conduct, not the fault of the people who let others know about the conduct.
Suing in these circumstances is tantamount to saying "you guys owe us money because you refused to keep your mouths shut about our heretofore unseen levels of douchebaggery".
This is hilarious.
I'd almost forgotten about the whole debacle, I even gave in and skied a day at sunshine last week and then this comes to light! Back to badmouthing sunshine while I ski the lake.
They were fired for enforcing the rules on Scurry and his rich bitch friends.
The sunshine claims are fabrications and exaggerations to try and give cause to the firing. Read the statments, its painfully obvious.
QFT
Really Brett....really?
Out of the guys who quit got fired who were the old crusty douche bags out of that lot? Please do tell.
Because from what i remeber a lot of those old crusty douche bags had families to feed, bills to pay, and people to support that deserve better then to have taxis waiting for them at the bottom of the hill in the morning.
No offence but thats not how you treat people who have given 20 plus years of loyal service.
