As information regarding the incident occuring this weekend at Ski Sawmill was made aware to us, we made the decission to shut down the forums for a period of time.
This was done out of respect for the friends and family of the individuals involved in this incident. We did not wish someone to learn about a loved one from secondary/heresay source. Hence our decission to shut down the forums for 14 hours.
It is our hope that the readership of SpecialStage exercise additional sensitivity if they choose to discuss this incident now or in the future as family members and friends are likely to be fellow readers.
If you feel the need to discuss our decission regarding the closing of our forums while families were informed, please contact me directly at
[email protected], I will be more then willing to discuss this decission off line.
