This is our fight for the future of mountains! Please take 30s to support park (and skiing / boarding in general ) and not ludicrous tourist traps that nobody will use more than once! Thank you!

What dumbfuck resort kind of resort is this. How hard it is to have both, something for actual skiers and something for gapers

The possibility that they may decide to divert funding from the park to building a roller coaster thing is deeply saddening

Did they imply they are letting IG people vote on whether one or the other is happening? With the very little context provided I'm willing to bet that there will be zero decisions made purely on the results of an IG story poll. Social media marketers do stuff like this all the time for engagement purposes, not to make big business plan changes. 99% chance this is meaningless and your park is not at risk.

Oh definitely no implication of this leading to any action & I'm being hugely melodramatic

But it's a tiny hill so all that has to happen is the social media marketer shows this to the boss and suddenly dollar-sign shaped gears are spinning in management's heads. I'd rather tip the odds in favour of my preferred gears, ya know?
