SAN FRANCISCO -- Skiers including Olympic gold medallist Jonny Moseley planning to catch air off a Pacific Heights street will have to rethink their plans now that San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has postponed the event.

Newsom said city officials and the events organizers reached a "mutual understanding" on Wednesday that it wasn't the right time.

"We're just not going to take a chance," Newsom said. "There are just too many questions."

Newsom said the jump still could go forward as early as two weeks from now, but that a delay of a month or two was more likely. He said organizers would meet with member of the community to develop a plan to deal with the expected crowd and make sure the jump would be safe.

Issues of street safety, the event's interference with a wedding, crowd compliance, and the overall reliability of the structure being built were major factors in the Newsom's decision.

The apparel company had planned to haul in 200 tons of snow and have Moseley and 30 other top ski aerialists launch themselves off a jump at Fillmore and Vallejo and land on Green Street.

But local neighbors as well as a group of Hindu monks complained to city officials, citing traffic problems and access to their homes and temple.

"I laughed," said local resident Jolanda Waites when asked about the ski hill. "It's just ridiculous… It's nice for him (Moseley), but it's a lot of nuisance for the people living here."

Organizers had said before the announcement that they were confident the event would go off as planned.

"In the neighborhoods within a four-block radius around Fillmore, we passed out fliers announcing the event and had a town hall meeting," said Glen Griffin, the event organizer. "I live three blocks from here. These are my neighbors."

Local resident David Leof said he appreciated the organizer's intent to be a "good neighbor."

"I am concerned about it, but this is the free wheeling spirit of San Francisco," he said. "It's a disruption to be sure, but it's a celebration of life!"

In response to some neighbor's concerns, event organizers had scaled back the hours of the event, and cancelled plans for a "vodka garden" in front of a monastery, alongside the snow route.
