The petition to bring back old ski trail names (now at 240 names) includes a space for people to leave comments. Here’s an interesting one from Louis Helbig:
…My suggestion would be some kind of contest to name trails which could result in a mix of old and new, French and English names. Might this be something useful for NCC to organize, to engage with skiers and users of the park, say with little kiosks at a few junctions where people could make name suggestions or vote for a selection of names? Would such a renaming scheme provide NCC an opportunity to engage and interact with users in a positive and constructive manner, to make a break from the bad old days of unilateral decision making?!
I’ll be sure to highlight this to NCC staff.
