A Letter From Louise To Me Regarding Terrain Park and Bussing Services

Good morning Chad,
I appreciate your time taken to write your comments to us. I just want to
be sure we are on the same page. We, as I am sure you know, are Resorts of
the Canadian Rockies (RCR) but we do not have a ski hill in Banff. Sunshine
is separately owned from us, as is Mt. Norquay. So, that being said,
firstly it would be more adventageous for us to run a bus to Lake Louise.
We are always interested in looking for a feasible option for running a bus
to Lake Louise from Calgary, stopping in Canmore but in the past it has be
economically burdensome. I understand the drive to go riding everyday
humanly possible and a bus would be a great way to do that! However not
enough interest in the past has made it unfeasible.
There is bussing for the kids that live in Canmore and Banff that work at
Lake Louise and Nakiska, but that is obviously for employees only.
Secondly there is the "Sunshine Bus" that runs from Calgary to Banff, but I
do not have the details on that, you would have to contact Sunshine
directly.
We have a partnership with "Magic Bus" that runs from Edmonton, to Lake
Louise also, for your interest.
As for the park, are you referring to the park at Lake Louise? If so, the
park will be very similar to last year, complete with a pro line and so on.
Please dispell the rumours that there won't be a park! I am a snowboarder
myself (as well as a seasoned skier) and I am looking to increase my park
riding skills so I would be personally disappointed if there was no park
this year.
I look forward to hearing your comments at you at your earliest convenience,
I hope I have answered some of your questions.
Tell me a little about your filmmaking interests, do you mostly do
snowboard/freestyle films, you have an interesting email address so it makes
me curious.

this type of comment has already been said and owned, the direction sunshines park is headed compared to other years it is going to be better than louise. as long as they keep creative.

the biggest problem with sunshines park is that it is up in the alpine and suffers from flat light. they should put it back on wawa so if its a cloudy day at least you can spot your landing instead of geussing

no biggest problem is they dont make snow so its hard to make a good park, snow farming can only do so much

louise's park sucked because Telus sponsored it. Like wtf was that tiny ass park on larch doing there pointless and waste of time. what they need to do the whole super park thing from two years ago. with the huge jumps in pro and then a medium park.

you may get flat light at sunshine but when its sunny out you get an amazing back drop for shooting and filming!!

Apparently sunshine is stepping up their park this year to try and compete with Louise.
