SAM Magazine-Calgary, Alberta, Nov. 12, 2007-Resorts of the Canadian Rockies (RCR), is giving big air a big kiss-off. "All man-made snow jumps will be eliminated from RCR terrain parks this season," Matt Mosteller, senior director of business development for Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, has announced. The six-area company cited its core value of providing a safe environment for guests as the reason for the change. At the same time, the resorts are expanding their rail parks with a wide variety of new features, from entry-level, family-park rails to those challenging enough to host national-level competitions. All will nonetheless adhere to RCR's internal guidelines for safe practices.

RCR resorts include Lake Louise Mountain Resort and Nakiska in Alberta; Fernie Alpine Resort and Kimberley Alpine Resort in British Columbia; and Mont-Ste.-Anne and Stoneham, Quebec.
