Hi Guys,


I am working on a school assignment worth 15% of my final grade. I am looking into ski resorts that are turning green. I need your help, So far I know about Whistlers Fitzsimmons Creek Renewable Energy Project and Jimmy Peaks Wind Turbine. What are you guys doing at your resorts? I'm trying to gather data.

Thanks,


Ryan

You can search for environmental initiatives by resort at the NSAA Website.

There was also an interesting article in SAM, (www.saminfo.com) a couple issues back if I remember correctly all about environmental initiatives taken by various resorts around the country. That might be worth looking into as well...

Auden's book "getting green done" had a lot of good information.
