Après Ski Vacation

Last week I went skiing in beautiful Lake Tahoe. And after reading a good chunk of global warming research last year, I took great joy (I mean, more than usual) in spending a week outside, surrounded by snow. It was just plain fun, totally rejuvenating. 

It's great to see the National Ski Areas Association working toward making sure we can all continue shoop-shooping for years to come. Check out its Sustainable Slopes environmental charter.  Tons of major ski areas have signed on, including one of my favorite little gems, Mt. Rose.

Just back from Telluride - great fun, as always but COLD!! Don't forget to let reader/skiers know that they can also help the cause by skiing green. check out www.skigreen.org to carbon offset your ski trip.

Hi... I wish you had explained WHY ski resorts are unfriendly to the environment. I know I've read this somewhere before, but I can't remember the details and I don't recall what the big deal is.

I wouldn't think you'd want to be promoting Canadian products as long as they are still killing baby seals. I no longer buy Canadian, even my favorite blue berries.

I wasn't really aware ski resorts were bad for the environment... how are they? Erosional damage from humans on the actual mountains must be minimal.... I;m sure I'm missing some points though. Interesting read - Climate change impact on South America travel industry mentions how many glaciers are shrinking there...
