Nope, it's not bullshit.
There was a coup against the former Chancellor of Park Creation, from his Vice-Chancellor. He was a known gaper and groomer skier, also a Billionaire in his late fifties, but for reasons we don't know, he was appointed Vice-Chancellor.
Anyways, the VC had been secretly communicating with the manufacturers of Pipe Dragon and Snowcats to recall them from ski areas and resorts. The plan went through and the Chancellor was overthrown the following morning after the recall.
However, Cat skiing operations have remained largely uneffected, and are refusing to give up their Snowcats. I think it is obvious why they are fighting the recall, because their operations depend on them. Needless to say, the new Chancellor has refuses to give up his emergency powers, and this year's park skiing might be shot.
