In your upcoming ski vacation - be on the lookout for the ski resort to be not only white, but also very Green:
It makes a lot of sense when you come to think of it:
Ski resorts have abundant sun, wind, height differentials, and more than most of us - are suffering from the warmer weather causing shorter skiing seasons.
Today's, the FIS ski championship downhill run was held in St. Moritz. As I watched the skiers, I noticed the shadow of a whirling blade - coming from the resort's wind turbine, located high up on the mountain.
It seems many resorts have already turned green - using wind energy powered chairlifts, solar panels, bio mass energy recovery, environmentally conscious building (with solar heating, earth heating, effective insulation) etc.
