Hello everyone,
This is happening thousands of kilometers away, and many of you may have read about this at TGR or EpicSki. But the ski community is a tight knit bunch, and we all know people who know people. Basically a young patroller caught the owner of Sunshine Village's son (Taylor Scurfield) skiing in a closed area. Taylor got extremely mouthy and aggressive, and was escorted to the base and had his pass taken away for a short time. Taylor Scurfield exclaimed that the patrol would "pay."
Soon afterward, several senior patrollers who accumulate upwards of 60 years of experience were fired without legitimate cause. Several since then have also been fired.
Regardless of how far away this place is, I would encourage you to check out the facebook page below and read the info section explaining the whole chronology of the affair. Email Sunshine Village and express your displeasure.
I encourage you to all keep the Bow Valley in mind, there is plenty of fantastic terrain to ski, but mark Sunshine Village off your travel list. I wouldn't feel safe skiing there at this point.

Cheers for giving this a few minutes of your time.
Hope you're all enjoying the epic season.
