Ah that is why it went quiet the "cease & desists" threat.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

The allegations that SSV have breached environmental regulations could turn out to be a can of worms: Canadian environmental groups have a longstanding interest in getting skiing in the National Park banned completely (something that would shut down both SSV and LL).
This will certainly give them some more ammunition.
Incidentally, Chris Chevalier is now working for a cat-ski operation out of Fortress Mountain, near Nakiska.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Howdy all... Pleased you are enjoying these documents 
Entick - There have been no judgements regarding either case. The ones you see were related to a sealing order where SSV tried to prevent the release of court documents. This was overturned. The information that was temporarily sealed is contained in the affidavit posted on my page. I believe the initial case is in discovery, it may make it to trial by the end of the year. Legal process is slow in Alberta. There have been no settlements that I am aware of...
It is definitely interesting reading the facts as presented by either side rather than pure media/internet speculation!

So all is not well in SSV ? I'm due to visit in 4 weeks. Are there still issues to sort out, how many runs, mountains they will have open?

SSV is wide-open. So is Louise, Kicking Horse, Norquay, Revy, etc..... We have a good base ready for whatever March madness Ullr throws at us.
Some have decided to boycott the hill due to the owners handling of this affair.
I still have a pass at SSV as I enjoy the big mountain terrain. The new patrol crew are a good bunch. However I do not spend a penny on hill as to not line the owners pockets.
Go to whichever hills you want to go to..... Unless YOU particularly want to boycott them, it's your call.

Many thanks for the info, something that we will obviously consider when we arrive.

Of course, although I'll not be back there until they change the culture. They need to have their resort safety managed by professionals, not a rich kid's whim.

I'm sure that's so: my point is that they're not in charge of the safety, the rich kid is.

I hope it does reopen: it used to be a great hill.

We never skied there, it was shut since we arrived. But the bridge got fixed by the movie inception which has, I understand, mae a potential reopening possible

You know it makes sense.
|
The road and bridge is what ultimately led to it's downfall.... as gryphea says, that got fixed by Matt Damon personally (I hear he's great with a grader).
The big problem now is that the permits for the lifts expired. Hard work getting them back without installing brand new metal. I think the base lodge needs to be ripped down too....
The Cat-ski op is pretty much fully booked for the whole season, so they are doing well and Chevy/Rowan are getting all the experience in how to manage that place's terrain.
