Kimberley Ski Resort

More and more ski resorts in Canada plan to make their slopes more family friendly by removing all their jumps on artificial snow. This is good news for some, especially if your colleagues are important skiers bunny hill, but think they are James Bond.

Canadian stations after more families for ski vacation extends from Quebec to British Columbia. They include Lake Louise, Fernie, Kimberley, Nakiska, Mont Sainte-Anne, Stoneham. The stations want to put safety first and they believe that other major stations will soon follow suit.

Matt Mosteller, Senior Director of Business Development for stations in the Canadian Rocky Mountain states, "We have undertaken an initiative of the lead industry. We found that one of the main issues that increase the likelihood of serious injury on our mountains is big air. When we make decisions about security at our resorts, the big jumps in terrain parks ever in the equation. We decided to make a change. "

Amateurs may be saved from serious injury, but what about the thrill seekers know what they get when trying to get the great outdoors?

Mosteller addresses that concern, saying, "We are committed to providing our customers with a safe experience at our mountains. We recognize that this change may disappoint some guests who regularly use these features jump man. However, we believe we have a strong moral obligation not to jeopardize the safety of our customers. "

There will, of course, still other stations that meet the most talented and adventurous.

But for people who think the idea of leaving the field while on skis is like a worst case scenario, this change in policy means the stations will have more money to spend on other benefits of the average skier is more likely to appreciate.

For example, the ad even mentioned that the rails and new functions for existing parks are planned land at Lake Louise, Fernie and Nakiska. The parks are also implementing new "families" terrain parks.

These new parks feature small rails boxes and rolls that help children get started on the slopes.

According to the SPP website, the company aims to promote learning, safety and fun in a non-intimidating environment. This seems to be in line with the corporate vision of CPR, which states that stations should be "the ideal place to visit if you want to re-connect with family, friends and nature." The company owns and operates parks for the past five years, wants the parks to family-oriented destinations.

Skiing in general is one of the most dangerous sports. Obviously, bowling can be a bit safer than flying down a hill on two sticks to a very high speed. But the stations do not want the added responsibility of "kickers" that skiers often call such jumps.

The stations of the Canadian Rockies also announced its intention to host a Rail Jam Series that will take place at Lake Louise Mountain Resort, Fernie Alpine Resort and Nakiska in the same press release. "Features used in the Rail Jam Series will be suitable for a high level of competition, while adhering to safety practices," according to the CPR. Thus, expert skiers who are not particularly concerned about the family fun will be some new features to expect in parks CPR.

The deletion of CPR "kicker" is the subject of much controversy online, but it seems that the CPR is unlikely to reconsider its decision in the near future. Maybe it's not a bad thing for families, daredevil since now feel less obliged to imitate the pros. This initiative will certainly save at least a few broken bones across Canada this winter.
