After reading the headline, I was pleasantly surprised to see what Keith argues in this column. He raises a lot of great points, and I think he's on the nose with how certain segments of our population need to come to grips with the true costs of sprawl.

Less a ski club and more a winter activity centre is key.

it seems like a tall ask considering the hill is small and only attractive to small children learning to ski. Even my own kids when they reached, 9, 10 had out grown it.

Develop it into a family friendly winter adventure centre with nordic, tubing, fire pits, sledding, food/bev, events, music and downhill.
