Replying to Final Update To "Trying to Start a Rail Jam at my local"
Had a meeting with hill management and it didn't go too well. They shut down any type of competition with judging and didn't seem to appreciate any of the work that was done to gather sponsors/gen event outline. They said an event is possible but they want to do it their own way and want a bank to be the title sponsor of the event. I get that the bank might be willing to donate more money to the event but at the end of the day it is still an event at a ski hill... people don't want to see a bank they want brands they actually have heard of within the skiing and boarding community. The event they decided on is going to be some type of "hips and lips" event. Lots of lofty transitions and flowy rail lines. Thankful for their time to meet with me just disappointed we won't be hosting any kind of competitions this year and into the future seasons. Overall running a ski hill is a business and the owners and management have to do what's best for their business.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to my dream and reached out with ideas and recommendations.
