I am writing a proposal to my hill whitewater about a park and this is what i have so far. Any ideas you have just post them. i have also got a petition going.
Just the other day you released the plans for the hill over the next 25 years. I was moderately pleased with the ideas. One thing that struck me that was not there was plans for a terrain park. This baffles me. A terrain park would be a great edition to Whitewater for many different reasons. Over the last few years my friends and I have been noticing that more and more younger kids are heading out into the backcountry with little or no skills or knowledge to be out there. The reason they are headed out there is to build jumps. I know this as a fact. They are going to get hurt because they do not have the experience or the air sense that a park would allow kids to improve on. My friends and I go out to build jumps all the time with good knowledge about the dangers of skiing out of bounds, but this year alone with have had 4 injuries between us, good skiers and snowboarders. Imagine what might happen with younger kids. A park would keep kids in bounds and away from danger. Also another thing is that we get bored at the mountain. Yes, we do get great snow most of the year but there are those times where all we do is ski the same runs for weeks on end. A park would attract so many more people, especially kids, to come to whitewater. I know a lot of kids who do not buy passes because of the lack of a park. I have heard from many reliable sources that you are dead against parks. Why is this? I know liability is a big thing but a great way to get money for that is to charge for the park. When people buy a seasons pass, have an extra charge to be allowed in the park. I guarantee that all of the kids I know why ski and board would pay that extra money, up to about $40 more. A Park would also attract a lot of tourists here. Great snow, great terrain, and a great park.
The only enemy agaist progression is FEAR!
