Camp of Champions, High North, SMS, etc.. Im not sure exactly how they operate, but it would seem that they lease, or rent a Lane of the Glacier from intrawest, in the summer to make profit from, and operate their own, private terrain parks. Would it be possible to do this, not only in the summer, but in the winter too? I'm sure there are many runs on whistler, or other resorts, that are very rarely skiied, that could be let out for a reasonable sum, and then the company that leases off intrawest, would charge their own day, or season, fee for whoever wants to ride that company's own private park. That small company then would accept all liability for their park, would use intrawest's (or other major operators) lifts by paying their rent, and use the money they made off day tickets, or season passes, which would be very reasonable as it would only have to cover the rent and maintance costs, to produce their own private terrain parks, on major ski hills. This could lead to private park teams, constantly evolving progressive features, pure dedication to the park alone (in terms of grooming and maintenance), competiton among private parks, mid-winter camps and clinics, more hosting of events etc. all under the organization of a smaller, park oriented firm who's only responsibily was their park; not family zones, ski schools, big mtn terrain etc (as most major ski hills have to worry about)... Well its just an idea anyways.
