Our discussion on wind turbines and how it would be great if ski areas like Monarch Mountain could take advantage of wind resources prompted Mike Brown to comment on a recent post and offer a link to a site. The Keep Winter Cool website has a page specifically showing what some ski areas around the country are doing to help reduce global warming. Many of the ski areas on that particular page are buying wind power from the grid. Mike’s suggests that the next logical step for them is to start generating their own wind power. Is it more cost effective for ski areas to buy power from the utilities year after year than it is to build their own wind power generators, or use other alternative renewable resources to generate power?
The site is called Keep Winter Cool (click name to visit). It’s focus is to provide information on how we can reduce global warming. Snow sports enthusiasts may not even know that they can help keep the winters cool. Here are examples where being green helps some to stay snowy white.
