Speculating, but I feel there's a high degree of likelihood I'm correct, regardless of what their "official" answer is.

Most likely correct , Old mindsets sometime are unwilling to change, My local Mole hill "Bear Creek" has some of the largest jumps and sizeable terrain park I've seen anywhere. It is a seachange away from the previous owners "Doe Mountain" era. Moguls and anything that looked like a jump had a lifespan of hours. When the sale occured everything changed.
At Elk ,I suspect their terrain park has more injuries than any tree skiers would experience and it's a small park.

I skied there along time ago when the main lift trees were only 5' tall . it has made a huge difference in keeping a lot of snow longer , also shade helps.....Now if they would only stay open longer, even if it's weekends only.

an old-head patroller told me a) as long as the current owner is there, the trees will be off limits, and that it was because 2) someone hit a tree and died skiing in the woods there

While suiting up by the car parked in the "tailgaters" lot earlier this month a local had told me ELK does not allow tree skiing because someone had died doing so. I don't know how true that is but it's consistent with what springmthigh heard.

Maybe that explains the fir trees lining the sides of entire trails and slopes, Altough there getting pretty tall in some places and the bottoms are losing branches exposing large trunks.
