For those of us who have called Attitash Mountain home for so many years, it is a place filled with memories, joy, and a deep connection to nature and sport. This mountain was not only our playground but also a community where the freestyle skiing and snowboarding culture thrived. However, in recent years, we have felt the painful sting of corporate decisions that prioritize profits over preserving this vibrant community and the heartbeat of the freestyle team.

The absence of a proper terrain park has not only diminished the soul of Attitash but also critically impacted the development and enthusiasm of the freestyle community. The mountain, once bustling with talented athletes flipping and spinning, is now a barren expanse, suffocated by shortsightedness.

A terrain park is not merely about jumps and rails. It is an incubator for talent, creativity, and camaraderie. It empowers our youth, inspires newcomers, and keeps veterans engaged. The freestyle team has long been the pride and joy of our mountain, producing athletes who have competed at national levels, yet it currently suffers from lack of proper facilities for training and engagement.

We urge the decision-makers at Attitash and Vail to recognize the value of these community assets. We propose setting aside a budget for the following actionable steps to rejuvenate Attitash:

1. Allocate budget specifically for the design and maintenance of a versatile terrain park catering to all skill levels.
2. Establish a dedicated team to oversee the park's operations, including safety standards and continuous upgrades.
3. Host regular workshops and competitions to invigorate community participation and attract new enthusiasts.
4. Collaborate with local freestyle teams and community leaders to tailor the park's features to real user needs and aspirations.

Restoring the terrain park will enhance visitor satisfaction, elevate the mountain's reputation in the winter sports industry, and renew the spirit of everyone who steps foot on its slopes. This is not just about preserving a sport – it's about reviving a legacy.

Stand with us in urging Attitash and Vail to see beyond immediate profits and reinvest in the community that made these mountains beloved.
