New ski site questions

[DmaxJC_ski]

So I have recently caught wind that the county I live in is going to be spending some money in parks and rec next year, which includes repurposing a large gravel pit along a river, which is very typical of a ski site here in Alberta (predator). A friend of mine and myself are looking to put forward a proposal to have them make a ski site. Just wondering what ideas anyone would have to help us intrigue the board members.

 

 

I have looked at a few plans online for dimensions and whatnot, I know what is needed that way and what I vision, do any of the online designs stand out more then the other to anyone? The county has money to burn literally, but I think simple is better to start.

 

 

If this doesn't pan out, I won't be hugely disappointed as I have recently discovered and gained access to what would be my own little honey hole 20 min from my front door. With winter sneaking up rapidly and my boat suffering severe trauma in recent weather the setup on it will have to wait till spring.

@Mark_Matis I think we will be lucky to get one good one, it's down in the river valley so the wind shouldn't play into it too much. I'm not going to push for islands, thinking like 1950ft long, I'm just hoping they look at the big picture for the community potential, and possibly tournament revenues. Be nice to see our tax dollars kick back a little in a different way, instead of atv trails and bicycle road races. (You'd understand if you lived here)
