keagan.karstensJeff holce screamed at the top of his lungs at some newbie kids who walked up without shovels, they stopped for a moment and then literally turned around and went home. Nice inviting atmosphere you’re building over there jeff. Now those kids are never gonna want to come back and be afraid of the park community

verynormalguyCan someone explain to me why bringing a shovel to bonezons is such a big deal? I get it for other preseason spots where it might be just a few homies, like I’m definitely gonna bring a shovel for that and do some reshaping and stuff when needed. But I find it hard to believe that the 100+ MFs at bone zone on a Saturday are all using the shovel they brought. To me it seems like you could easily use it to “get in the door” and then not dig shit at all lol
GrapeHuntercan't blame him, Brighton pays him in wood chips and beer to go deal with elitist 20 something year olds that think they deserve a park handbuilt to their comp specs
eheathThe snowboarders at Brighton have been elitist towards skiers for 20 years, Brighton wouldn't even give skiers free tickets/passes until like 2013 (+/- a couple years)
homie just wants to yell at people, it has nothing to do with his compensation.

GrapeHunterwho ever said they were skiers?
Paul.You can be mad at Jeffs approach if you want, but isnt he a big part of why the bonezone exists as it does? I dont live in slc, but from my limited knowledge the bonezone started as a rouge operation in a different spot at brighton. It went on for a few years with people (mostly snowboarders) building rails out of wood, until it got too big and brighton decided to shut it down. But instead of just telling the people they cant do that, they offered an alternative space using the resort’s features.
Now that it's an official Brighton park, there needs to be some rules to ensure some level of safety. And to enforce those rules you need some line of communication from brighton to the people, in steps Jeff Holce. Imo Jeff took on this role because he is extremely passionate about the sport of snow sliding, and wants to foster a space for everyone to gather and enjoy it together. And for this to work, everyone needs to pitch in and do their part to maintain the space so that brighton can continue to allow it. It’s unfortunate that he yelled at some newbies that might not know better, but at the end of the day somebody needs to be the asshole to keep the place in good shape.
I visited the bonezone for the first time this weekend and can say it is sick af. To my knowledge, no other resort has something like the bonezone on an official level, and yall are extremely lucky to have a place like that to gather in the preseason. For example, Timberline regularly kicks us out of our main preseason zone, and they’ll throw away our rails if we leave them there over night. I would kill for tline to have a FREE public setup half the size of the bonezone.
So, can you show up to the bonezone with a shovel and no intention to use it? Yeah sure. Are you an asshole for that? Yeah probably. What you should actually do is appreciate that you have a space thats totally unique and fun, take pride it, and do your part to make it fun for everyone. The overall response in this thread is disappointing to see, and it makes me understand why the brighton snowboard community seems to always complain about the skier kids.
Sorry for the essay
SteezyYeeteryou didn't factor into account that you're wrong

Skix4kHe probably said "where's a shovel" and "bring a shovel" not anything that much worse than that. Hopefully they got the message. Bring a shovel, Jeff makes bone zone happen for you. You should thank him instead of villlanizing him.
keagan.karstensAt the top of his lungs, he screamed “where’s your fucking shovels” and then something else, and then clearly screamed “don’t you ever come back without a shovel”

Skix4kmessage from bone zone overseer himself
keagan.karstensThat checks out tbh
skiermanSo you blatantly lied multiple times?
GrapeHuntercan't blame him, Brighton pays him in wood chips and beer to go deal with elitist 20 something year olds that think they deserve a park handbuilt to their comp specs
GrapeHunterthe sacred spot I take ur mom on the weekends when she doesn't have the kids 💯
keagan.karstensI didn’t lie about anything

skiermanLook man, I understand your fanbase mainly consists of Montec-wearing, dead beat gapers but having less of them around ruining the lips while putting in no work is a great thing.
