At the Silver Mountain web site comments are invited so I submitted the following:

My son and I skied at Silver on Valentine's Day and enjoyed the skiing very
much. There were few people on the mountain that day, the snow was pretty good,
and there was a bit of fresh powder.
One thing though that detracted from our enjoyment was the loud and unavoidable
music blaring from the terrain park.
Believe me, nobody, even someone who might enjoy tunes while riding/boarding, enjoys
hearing "I want candy" and "Jeremiah was a bullfrog (Joy to the world)".
Loud, crumby pop music seriously marred the beauty of being in the mountains and
is inconsistent with the alpine experience. People who want tunes have MP3 players.
"I want candy" is definitely not hip--even by virtue of its complete unhippness.
Turn it off and groove to the sounds of silence.

Since I don't have permission to post the email reply, I will supply the gist of it was: thanks for the feedback, terrain park riders want tunes, and maybe they will pick other selections.
