Replying to Spin Symposium 05 cancelled?

Word from some respected mucky-mucks at Mont Tremblant is that Intrawest is in serious financial trouble because of currency values, weather, past reputation, and the way they treat the skiing consumer.

To add fuel to the fire, all events are to be cancelled, since the Events department head was fired and the staff let go. Major lifts will now only be run on weekends, school breaks, and holidays (under the guise of "cold temperatures"). That, and a earlier closing than what is scheduled will happen.

And I thought they were just scrimping on a pipe...

Anyway, I hope it's not that bad BUT I keep hearing more each day - it's hard to ignore.

Demo days allow all skiers to try different skis to find out which ones reward their brand of poor technique.
