Thats the funniest thing I've heard all day...lol
Ya man I get the simplest form idea....but unfortunitely some others just see it as negative BS...and then stop supporting the movement...
I used to get all kinds of letters and notes left at the office complaining about the park and other things...I always just threw out the ones that were nasty and just bitching....I couldn't waste my time responding to these when the writer couldn't take the time to be constructive...thats just the way I think...
This NS movement has to be lead carefully so it doesn't blow up in all of our faces...and then nobody has the ability to build and create and otherwise assist the growth of this area of the sport....beleive me...the insurance companies would love to see parks disappear...
Stand up for what you want, be vocal, be progressive...just don't go overboard, the last thing we need is to progress past what the industry can support at the time...and sink the whole ship...
My goal at OSC is not necessarily to be the BEST....its to be the most versatile, rider progressing, all around skill developing park in the area....We don't need to sell ourselves as the area with the biggest park, but I want to see us be able to sell ourselves as an area that has a GREAT park...and the BEST all around resort in the area...Remember we have about 20 more runs then the park, 3 quad chairs, and 7 t-bar lifts...all this...and we still are generally at par with our neighbouring resorts as far as pricing goes...
I like that fact that everyone speaks their mind here...gives me the opportunity to make adjustments and gives me ideas of the direction we should go...its just the crap about promised features that "WE" never got that burn my ass....I never take anything personal...but I will have a response.
Cheers all...ski safe...see you sunday....
Lets just hope I can get enough snow...all this rain sure is not helping!
