Mt Hood Ski Resorts Still Open with Base over 15 Feet
2008-04-12 18:30:00 While Timberline Lodge boasts year round skiing in Oregon, most other resorts close down a few months shy of summer.

Matthew Drake, chairman and CEO of Mt. Hood Meadows, wrote on his blog. This is good news for skiers and snowboarders that wish to take advantage of cheaper spring season lift tickets and season passes.This week, the weather has been that of a more typical Mt Hood spring season, with bright blue skies, warm air, and blooming wildflowers.

Ski resorts considering biodiesel for Snowcats
2007-11-18 02:09:00 We all agree that global warming is caused by too much greenhouse gas in the air, right? And global warming can deal a serious blow to the skiing season. Therefore, it shouldn't be all that surprising to hear that at least some ski resorts in the Western U.S. are considering ways to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Two of these are on Vail and Beaver Creek mountains, where the idea is to use biodiesel in the fleet of snowcats.According to the Vail Trail, the Vail resorts are considering using the biofuel in part because Aspen resorts have been using B20 in the snowcats for at least five years, even though the biodiesel costs a bit more. One issue, of course, considering where and when this biodiesel will be used, is gelling. Beaver Creek is doing a lot of research into fuel blends that will work in the cold temperatures, a spokeswoman told the Vail Trail. Some ski resorts also use biodiesel as a backup fuel for the generators that power the ski lifts. If you're a ski bunny o...

Injured Skiers Don't Seem To Get The Message When They Sue Ski Resorts
2007-02-09 11:24:03 It's time for MIPTC's annual roundup of the winter ski resort appellate opinions. It seems like every year, someone gets hurt on the ski slopes and then sues to recover for their injuries.It's just that practically all of the courts routinely reject these claim because the skier "assumed the risk" of injury as soon as she stepped on the snow. It's really that simple. It's a somewhat dangerous sport, and you're likely to get hurt if you're not careful or well-trained. On the other hand, if you know what you're doing, it's one of the most enjoyable sports next to scuba diving. Where else can you be outside exercising in the mountains letting gravity do all the work and then get a hot toddy and a hot tub afterward? But to ski safely, there's a price. Here's the part where I give my pitch to hire a ski instructor. After all, I'm one myself - so says the Professional Ski Instructors Associ...
