Not motivated enough! Or have the time! or energy.

Hmmm, BW, are you Surprised your pass got pulled.
You were pulling the patrollers chain in a big way.
Glad the cops weren't waiting to escort you off the premises to spend the night in their fine accommodations!

Authority hates to be dissed.

PS. Anything you want to invite us to besides clear illegal trees in Pennsylvania?

My point is that unless there is massed civil disobedience against resort like Holiday valley they will not change.  I am not surprised at all they pulled my pass. My goal after the patroller comment about "it was unskiable terrain" was to embarrass him untill I could not anymore. Its not his job to set policy but he shouldnt choose to enforce it either if has any bit of a brain. The groomers that day were icey mess, where as the woods had 12-14 inches of light powder in them. It was safer for me to ski the woods.

I did very similar things at Hidden Valley when I worked there, and because I got literally tons of people to do it the policy at Hidden Valley now allows Tree skiing the patrol just did not have the time and the energy to chase everyone down.

At Stowe we finally are allowed to take lessons in to woods because alot of instructors have been complaining about the absuridty if taking expert level kids on to dangerous groomers while there is perfectly soft and beign trees all around the place.

The point is for anyone who wants to ski trees and their resort doesnt yet allow it, you have to take a stance against the power to be and NEVER back down. 

Liam what if I bring high powered HID lights to ski woods at night

Liam Mountain biking is good everywhere, some of my favorite trails are in Ohio and Pittsburgh area. You going to be around in a couple weeks Ill be passing back though there on my way back up to stowe.
