Quit thinking locally and think provincially. The corporations pay income tax, make political donations, employ people that pay income tax, build expensive lodges, hire heli operators etc. While sledders may drop good cash it is not to one business it is spread amongst many who do not have as strong a voice as one large corporation. Not to mention it's easy to point a finger at us as we are a very visual user group and don't do ourselves any favours with our public image.They might pay $1000 a day, but very little leaves the resort they stay at. Same with the ski hill people. Anyone who has taken their family to a mountain knows how expensive it is. Very little gets spread around the local businesses after.
