Double votes from me. Never been, but looks like the coolest ski area ever. Some day I’ll make the pilgrimage.

This sort of solicitation is just.....

Shamesful.

If Gary is successful here we should petition the hill to name a run after him...or at least put up a plaque in the men's room.

Dang... that hill might be local. But it ain't small.

**Norseman** · 02-24-2021, 03:28 PM

The hill is small but the surroundings are large.

I think there is already a considerable amount of writing dedicated to me in both the mens toilet stalls. Please no more...

Hey, thanks again all of you guys. Really appreciate the help to keep me skiing powder. No worthier cause comes to my mind!
Well, OK there's the save the children fund but how well do you even know those kids? Anyway, I really hope that a trip up here can be in the cards for all of you at some point. I really would like to ski with ya.

Been on my to-visit list for a while. Vote Shames!

**bennymac** · 02-24-2021, 09:52 PM

Voted. Will pump it amongst others like it’s GameStop.

**garyfromterrace** · 02-25-2021, 06:53 PM

Thank you for the continued help mags! Norse thanks for the pics. I ran into Jess (the snowboarding gal in some of the pictures) today at the top of a run and mentioned that I was looking just last night at some pictures of her that you took. She gave me a blank stare...
Skiing was good today on 50cms of new. And... we didn't get a grant to construct a new parking lot (we've had to turn away people partly due to parking issues) ... so win some lose some.

**frorider** · 02-25-2021, 07:17 PM

If you guys could move Shames to somewhere more accessible I’m sure you’d get moar skier $$.

**paulster2626** · 02-26-2021, 08:43 AM

Shames at 1573, and suddenly out of nowhere COP shows up and already has 1270...

COP sucks ass. Hope Shames pulls it off.

I voted, no way somewhere like Lake Louise or Whistler should even be in a contest like this, they aren’t ‘locals’ hills. (Edit, I see they removed Whistler, good on them)

**EWG** · 02-26-2021, 09:04 AM

Voted. Stupid COP. Bunch of cheaters.

It gets worse. Check out their half-assed entry:

We would like to nominate our newly formed Calgary westside Alpine Ski Club for the community investment. As a newly formed club, we would use the investment to expand our equipment selection for our 65+ athletes: race gates, transportation, timing system, radios, etc.

Blech. Compared to the one for Shames, it's clear who actually needs this more.
