I find it hard to believe the parents of that retarded kid that crashed years ago even bothered trying to sue. The waiver you sign prevents the resort/mountain from having any liability for retarded kids. Definetely some good points raised above. (Gord-o) Other bike parks/mountains manage to have more advanced features and adequate insurance policies, so I see no reason why blue couldn't as well, (other than for the reduced revenues in the summer at blue not covering expensive insurance policies) Fortunately for many of us we can still have lift accessed trails without driving across the province. Blue is there and we have to take it as it is and be happy that we have it. However I do agree that they have to give the customers what they want or people won't come. Blue has appeal, but not to the advanced downhill/freeride crowd. It doesnt make sense that blue got scared off by people trying to sue when they have absolutely no liability for people being retarded and sucking ass. Your signature on the waiver before you ride means that you will lose in court if you try and sue because you get injured. The parents of that retarded kid should have realized what they signed and saved themselves some legal fees. They fought for a hopeless cause. Oh and the broken neck kid if you are out there, thanks alot, next time try learning how to ride and realize that you cannot ride safely with zero skill and a shit bike. Many of us loathe the day you thought you were cool and could ride a drop anyone with basic freeride and downhill skills could handle. I could go on all day. norcorider540 - resort is owned by intrawest, not the property that the trails are on, however selling to intrawest would be excellent assuming that they actually own the land whistler is on and not just the resort/village.
