Help my local hill get their head out of the gutter

Hi I just recently made a petition about my local hill. I’ve been riding this hill for 2 and a half years. Each year has been a pain. Every season our mountain seems to care less and less about us. This year it’s been the worse, we opened with a pop up park and we had that park for 2 months. We had so much time and temps to blow snow on our actual park are. And our hill didn’t do anything. Now we have big whales and mounds on our rope tow park, they said they aren’t opening it for the season:(. I want justice for our park community. So please sign the petition if you wanna know more check the description at the bottom of the petition.

seems like park skiing isn't as profitable to ski resorts anymore, many have ceased to care.

Another vail fail.
Ski corporate owned areas and expect corporate owned bulls*** excuses when your favorite part of the hill gets shut down or closed altogether.

Crazy they made the snow but wont move it, probably keeping it untouched as a safety net to push out and keep base in tact through the long warm snap. Hope your park comes back sooner than later

Have you tried getting a job at the mountain? I’ve found that the best way to improve things at small hills is to get directly involved, but if it’s a vail resort you might be fucked idk. In any case, it often helps to show that you’re willing to put in the work rather than just complaining

Just go there with all your friends and start peeing everywhere. Dogs know whats up when it comes to marking territory so obviously this place will post something about it. You just need a few dozen people to start making yellow snow paths everywhere. Show em who pisses off better. That kind of thing ya feel. When in doubt. Pee it out right?

Some of our community works, they don’t even get info about anything. I also live 40 minutes away so it would be hard for me to work there. It’s mainly vail and our general manager that doesn’t give a fuck

That sounds sick.

I went once early season and thought the park was fine for the season. Sad to see they haven't improved much or opened the rope

The Pisswizard agrees. Pissing matches are the only way to effectively get things done

I was on the wilmot race team for 4 years. I stopped last season and when I came back this season I was extremely disappointed. I recommend going to chestnut if you want a good park. Chestnut’s park will make you think that you are at a Colorado park.
