I am writing you this email to propose an idea about holding a fund raising event at Bristol in to aid in the purchasing of new rails. I know that I and many many others at Bristol would be willing to pay up to $15-$20 in order to be registered into a "rail jam" style park event early in the season at Bristol. If something like this is held (once, or maybe multiple times) the money could be used to purchase new rails for the terrain park. An event like this would require very minimal planning and is actually very easy to put into action. Some ideas that you could potentially use the profits for include these two rails that many others and myself at Bristol would be extremely stoked on.

At Bristol, a single barrel Urban-style-get-on rail would be a HUGE hit! Along with a D-F-D rail with an urban-style-get-on. These two features are EXTREMELY popular at other mountains and I know that me and many others at Bristol would appreciate these features tremendously. And basically, it comes down to this. Terrain parks are the future of skiing, and if you have these features, along with the other great features Bristol already possesses, you're going to attract much more skiers and boarders and if you want, could hold even more "rail jams" in order to raise money for the mountain or charities. You can't have too many competitions!
Thanks for reading what I have to say, and I hope you put my plan into action!
Let me know!

Do you guys think this will work? Seems like a good idea to me.
