That artical makes me angry !!!
if SSV just let it go and swept it under the carpet it would all go away,
and humans being as stupid as we are, would all forget in a few short years ...
I'd luv to know, does the "family" feel justified in thier actions ???
If Taylor had hit his head riding that perm closure, the "family" would have wanted that young patroller to do everything in his powers to assist ...

I don't usually jump on boycott the blah blah blah bandwagons but I boycotted SSV last time I skied banff because of their pervasive "Shit on the employee" as a culture and this latest action is just telling me I made the right decision
Besides I never thot skiing SSV was all that great anyway and actualy I prefered lake lousey so thats where my money goes from now on

So if I am reading these links correctly, Sunshine is suing the ex-employees over their Facebook posts ???? And they say that these Facebook posts are responsible for "a substantial impact on revenue" ??? (heh.)
To: ex-employees of Sunshine
A) I am glad to hear that the poor decisions by Sunshine management have had "a substantial impact on revenue". Any business that make poor staffing decicisions will lose money. That is a no-brainer that the management/ownership should have thought through before they terminated such highly skilled senior employees.
B) I have never used Facebook, so I have never seen any Facebook posts that you may or may not have made.
And I am one of those boycotting Sunshine Village Ski Area due my fear of being injured due to management terminating highly skilled employees who were skilled at mitigating risks.
I am with a group of American skiers who always do a weeklong ski trip to Canada each year, combined our group spends approx $25,000 per year in the Canadian economy (lodging, lift tickets, meals, the peeler bar in Golden, etc..). The past two years we still come to Canada, but we avoid Sunshine Village due to our safety concerns, at potential loss to Sunshine of approx. $50,000 over the 2 year period. And my safety concerns are not due to any Facebook posts because I have never used Facebook.
Feel free to PM me if you would like a sworn affidavit to that effect. I am serious."Zee damn fat skis are ruining zee piste !" -Oscar Schevlin

seems like there is a bit more to it. The Herald article linked mentions other web domains, flyers delivered to mail boxes, t-shirts etc. Originally Posted by Harry

The real story is that the Scurfields who own Sunshine ski area are douchbags that can eat a bag of dicks. This isn't the first time the Scurfields who own sunshine ski area have acted like cunts; it seems to be a family trait, maybe genetic for the Scurfield douchbags who own Sunshine ski area...all in my humble opinion of course.

Well, my offer still stands. I have never seen one of those flyers and I have never seen one of those t-shirts. And I am still boycotting Sunshine Village. Originally Posted by jamesp

The amount of butthurt by the Scurfields in that is mind blowing. Originally Posted by Ramsey

Any chance of penalty for a frivolous lawsuit here? I look forward to giving the SOC a read...I'm assuming it's all about libel? I imagine one of the key sites is 'SSV Watch' - while it's definitely not written as an opinion, it doesn't attempt to state absolute facts either, but rather poses questions (with obvious intent)...which wouldn't seem like libel to me.
Is anyone aware of any other cases of this nature in our new media era? Surely similar smear campaigns (as with this one, they are probably justified) have come up against various companies with poor service/HR reputations (ie. Walmart)...have any of the targeted companies gone on the attack like this in the court system? Or is this more unprecedented jackassery from the Scurfields?

well sure they are - everyone knows this. But WTF... these guys don't seem to be doing many smart things to protect themselves. They, of anyone, should know exactly how the scurfields are when it comes to legal actions. Originally Posted by iscariot

The jackassery of the Scurfields who own Sunshine ski area is not unprecedented; the Scurfields who own Sunshine ski area have a clear precedence of jackassery...IMHO. Originally Posted by Singel

From http://ramzee.net/Files/SSVStatementOfClaim.pdf
Here's the Statement of Claim where SSV sues various people for among various things, defamation.
Filed Oct 19, 2012
Page 1 and 2
Facebook page - "Support Ski Patrol ..." - which is now gone.
www.supportskipatrol.com website which is now gone
http://sunshinevillagewatch.com/ which is still active
www.powdork.com which is still active
ScoobieDoo
K2Skier
Impressive list of websites where the "misrepresenations [about SSV and Thomas Taylor Scurfield] were published in page 5 including TGR of course (yelp and reddit are also mentioned; why not Google while one is at it?):
How unfortunate that "Taylor Scurfield" search terms on Google only show such untoward malicious defamatory postings
https://www.google.ca/search?q=taylo...hrome&ie=UTF-8
Although he has gainful summer employment at Encana http://www.linkedin.com/pub/taylor-scurfield/55/58a/b10
sidenote - Doug Firby is no longer with SSV but has moved on to Communications with the Calgary RE Board
One can only wish young master Scurfield the best - although with his family connections I am sure he land on his gold clad feet just fine.Last edited by LeeLau; 11-20-2012 at 06:09 PM.

I don't dispute existing jackassery from them...I am curious if there are any recent examples of an organization doing further damage to a social media storm by launching additional lawsuits? I imagine there are and I'm curious how they played out, but this has a special caddyshack/Ski School feel to it! Originally Posted by iscariot
My layman's understanding is that the burden of proof will be on SSV to prove that factual statements made on these sites are untrue...is that right? Sounds like a pretty tall task to me...there's an awful lot of he said/she said, and I can't think of anything that came out of this that could be proven as an outright lie...Will we ever see any of the specific statements that they may be referring too?

can sunshine sue me for posting in this thread?
Who else was just about ready to move on? I was actually thinking about skiing at Sunshine this season, now I'm having second thoughts.
Forgive my law JONGness as I only took 1 law course in Uni. Is Sunshine going to sue the Herald and CBC for posting an article that reminds the public about this fiasco?
Didn't sunshinevillagewatch only ever really post to bring to light Sunshine's environmental and safety issues? As if Parks really cared anyways...
Ramsey is guilty of posting PUBLIC court documents?
Aren't comment boards and forums composed of people's OPINION?
Significantly lower ticket sales? let's see some numbers... Doesn't have anything to do with Norquay's $99 midweek, KHMR opening up more terrain, and Charlie just being a total BOSS at Lake Louise...

Yes. Not sure why anyone would ski Sunshine ski area, as its crap compared to the other options, plus the owners of Sunshine ski area are assholes. Originally Posted by skiitsbetter

Sounds good - but make that the federal gubmint (National Park). Wouldn't want to waste that special talent by misdirecting it away from Supreme Leader Stevie™! Originally Posted by f2f

federal or provincial wouldn't matter, it all goes to harper. next time i see him strolling past the playground with his entourage (his parents must live in the same neighbourhood) i'll be sure to mention it as a concerned citizen
i hear something about an extended 'avalanche zone' limiting parking along the road to SSV (AB rockies thread). knowing that people willingly turn back when they have to park at km 8 away from the ski hill, i wonder if DasCunt's superpowers aren't at work already!
