On November 8, ski area operator Resorts of the Canadian Rockies Inc., which operates the Nakiska and Lake Louise ski areas in Alberta, the Fernie and Kimberley ski areas in British Columbia and the Mont Sainte-Anne and Stoneham ski areas in Quebec, announced it was eliminating all man-made snow jumps from its terrain parks as of the 2007-2008 season. There is considerable speculation that this decision was driven by a recent court settlement in the United States that saw an injured ski area patron awarded $14 million US after the terrain park user was seriously injured in the wake of a jump-gone-wrong. RCR is the largest privately-owned ski area operator in North America.
