Stoneham and mont-sainte-anne. no jump. what the fuck!

does someone who speaks a little more fluent english want to expand on this idea? 

i mean ill sign but i dont really get it.  and forreal i was supposed to go both of those places this winter break but now im goin to breck instead, so if you kids arent gonna be having any kickers i feel for you. 
 
some mountains in quebec are owned by the same people that have mountains out west and the mountains out west have had some people trying to sue them for injuries and stuff.
 
For now. It is really serious and it is going to be permanent. The only way out is to change the big boss' idea. I had a meeting for this and it is not a joke. I did sleep last night. Imagine that the two mountains around your city don't have jumps anymore. WHere are we going with that. It is unbeleivable. Please sign
 
i signed. not having any jumps would be hella lame. who is the person that decided to not build jumps this year?
 
Godammit ... Sto and MSA without jumps is WRONG! There'll be like only 4-5 decent parks in Quebec.

NS WE NEED YOUR HELP
 
I signed. I'm going to both of those mountains this winter and there better be a park.
 
HEy guys!

even if you are from nz, japan, states, canada, europe whereever just sign this petition please and help other people enjoy a nice snowpark for the season!

thanks!!
 
ahh wtf. i literally just signed up for my school ski trip to mt st anne. everyone please sign this. MAKE THIS A STICKY!!!!
 
This is more then just getting parks for kids to ride out west...if this idea takes off, could be bad news for everyone.

Signed
 
Signedddd... I have ski trips planned that include both Stoneham and Saint Anne...if there are no jumps then I will be dissapointed.. keep siginin the petition
 
You should have posted the original news wire first, no biggie, here is it. Basically what I think happened is the inssurance company told them (hey, we will increase your fees for this year by X$..or you can fix the problem) ...so they fixed it....

RESORTS OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES FOCUSES ON TERRAIN PARK SAFETY WITH AN INDUSTRY-LEADING INITIATIVE

Calgary, AB – November 8, 2007 - Resorts of the Canadian Rockies Inc. (RCR) is recognized as an industry leader in providing world-class guest experiences at its mountain resorts throughout Canada. In doing so, RCR believes that safety in its mountain environments is one of its most important values. Supporting this mandate, RCR is moving in a new direction that will enhance safety at all of its resorts.

RCR cares deeply about the well-being of all of its guests and takes responsibility for their care very seriously. “We are undertaking an industry-leading initiative,” says Matt Mosteller, Senior Director of Business Development for Resorts of the Canadian Rockies. “All man-made snow jumps will be eliminated from RCR terrain parks this season.”

“We have found that one of the main issues that increase the likelihood of serious injury on our mountains is big air,” says Mosteller. “When we are making decisions about safety at our resorts, the big jumps in the terrain parks always come into the equation. We decided to make a change.”

Continues Mosteller, “We are committed to providing our guests with a safe experience at our mountains. We realize that this change may disappoint some guests who regularly use these man-made jump features. However, we believe we have a strong moral obligation to not compromise the safety of our guests.”

At the same time, RCR will be making an increased investment in new rails and features for RCR’s terrain parks. For example, this year’s RCR TELUS Park at Lake Louise Mountain Resort features the highest-ever investment in new, state-of-the-art rail features that will cater to a wide variety of ages and abilities. RCR will have rail parks this season at Lake Louise Mountain Resort, Fernie Alpine Resort and Nakiska.

With the new rail park format, RCR will host a Rail Jam Series that will take place at Lake Louise Mountain Resort, Fernie Alpine Resort and Nakiska. Features used in the Rail Jam Series will be suitable for a high level of competition, while also adhering to safe practices.

For the past three seasons, RCR has also worked hard on developing its family-friendly terrain parks. These unique parks, separate from the larger parks, feature small rails, boxes and rollers, encouraging learning, safety and fun in a non-intimidating environment. The feedback on these parks has been positive and they will continue to develop at all of the resorts.
 
For a policy aimed at safety, the investment in rails seems like a bit of a stretch. Probably have more rails so more skis get fucked up and more skis get sold.
 
i signed it....i dont ski there...but good luck o getting them to keep the jumps...if there is anything else or any other petitions let me know
 
yes its valide the donation is for the website

COmeon people we need jumps at QUEBEC CITY
 
I'm going there in january and it would really suck if there are no jumps at all. Sure rails are fun but come on, what will Ste-Anne and Stoneham would be without jumps. Especially Stoneham which is a really park-oriented. Please sign and make this thread a sticky
 
If jumps are removed, the only way to get them back likely is to affect the resorts revenues.

All you guys with trips planned, cancel them immediately and make sure you are vocal. Tell the resort you have cancelled your arrangements to ski there due to their policy regarding jumps.

If they take out jumps, yet their numbers don't drop, and they don't take a substantial hit in revenues, they won't change the policy, and worse off, other resorts will start enacting this policy as well.

Speak with your wallets guys!
 
O man this is bullshit

those are the two places i've skied the most since I started freeskiing. I signed it a few times. We need to get harvey to use those freeskier writer skills and send a formal letter to these guys. thats Unbelievable that you could change something like that. So awful for the sport. Someone who boards should get this up on transworld if it isn't up already. We need a united front for this one.
 
it will also stop progression and really suck skiing hear , we count on Stoneham for jumps cause there nice and stuff but if there are no jumps fuckthat
 
FINALLY, people will stop jumping and finially start doing some REAL SKIING. this is a step in the good direction for the progression of skiing i say.

that was sarcastic..
