'RESS RELEASE: WHISTLER ENFORCING NEW RULES
WHISTLLER-BLACKCOMB, BC. (AP) - Whistler-Blackcomb Mountain Resort has created new strict laws after several lawsuits resulting in a great loss for Intrawest, the owners of Whistler as well as many other major North American ski hills. 'We just can't have another lawsuit filed against us,' said one of the part owners of Intrawest, 'We want our resorts to be a safe fun environment for families to enjoy together.' The rules proposed early this February have now been put into action, just in time for the summer season. Jon Kardon, a newschool skier who was planning on attending Camp of Champions, a skiing and snowboarding camp held at the resort every summer had this to say, 'I can't believe this, I spent well over a thousand to attend the Camp of Champions, and after I heard the new rules I have gotten a refund on my camp fee, but I still lost all the money for my deposit' the owners of Intrawest said that the rules had been implemented for the safety of skiers and boarders like him, and he would still have an enjoyable experience. The new regulations include:
-No Inverted aerials at any time!
-Half-Pipe and Rails are for snowboarder use only
-Anyone caught Out of Bounds will have their pass cut and be prosecuted.
-No tricks involving backwards landings or takeoffs
-No spins over 720
This is a summary of the new regulations but Intrawest should be contacted for a full list.'
Well this sucks, I was hoping on attending camp at Whistler in a few years, but after this it looks like I will be saving my money!
