One thing that may be worth noting re. "heinously restrictive risk management"
is that while Canada seems to be increasingly litigious the
settlements/payouts are peanuts compared to the USA and a large percentage of
their customers are Canadians with health coverage so are less likely to sue
for minor injuries. Also, unlike USA insurance companies that may payout to an
injured rider and then sue the resort on their behalf those cases are very
rare (note worthy) in cases where riders have private income loss insurance.
I can't imagine them raising the prices more than a few % a year unless they
are adding a lot of new terrain… but what do I know?!
