The world has witnessed how this one time “binding” company has progressed into the leader of innovative products featuring a complete line of “speed entry” bindings, performance proven boots and award winning snowboards. The future is here and the future is FLOW.
08-09 Powdr Corporation Boreal Review
0We arrived at Boreal early, went to the Lodge and had coffee the employees at the Lodge were smiling and happy. Then off to the hill. First thing after we strapped on our skis, we bought our tickets from the ticket gal, who by the way was wonderful and very helpful on where we should ski, this was a pleasure, and we were off to a great start. We then headed off to the mountain.
Our third encounter was a charm! The Lift Operators were most excellent. What a great experience we had. We met a couple of lift operators, I believe their names were Nancy and Jeff. These two made our experience so wonderful, as they were friendly, experienced, patient, courteous, and FUN! They helped start off our day in a positive, exciting and fun manner. They both were cracking us up. We enjoyed most of our day skiing the freestyle terrain, and riding on the lifts. We only encountered one bad experience the whole day and that was with a Ski Patrol by the name of Larson. He acted with total disregard to our enjoyment. He was belligerent and made one to many, sexual, rude, and downright nasty comments to us. My girlfriends and I were a little scared of this guy. He is supposed to representing Skiing as a National Sport that offers fun and safety to the customers who pay money to ski at their mountain. My friends and I won’t be back to Boreal, because of this guy’s belligerent behavior toward us. When we told him not to speak to us, he then got very angry. We were concerned for our safety at Boreal because of this man. Boreal you started our day off great but it ended in fear that we were going to get sexually assaulted by your Patrolman Larson. Great freestyle terrain and great for Borders, but we will ski elsewhere from now on. Thanks anyway.
