skiing with friends
There is nothing like no lift lines, new powder and skiing with friends at Crystal!
Ski pass contest
I carpool up to the slopes and help clean the mountains in the summer.
I climb
Well this may not be to the liking of the industry, but my ultimate ski goal is go out there in the wild and climb the mountain I want to ski. Granted it’s a heavy time commitment but is by far the most rewarding (and incidentally the greenest) ski experience.
I Ski Green
1. by driving my diesel Jetta using 100% biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil. (I use an anti-gel additive rather than splashmixing petro-diesel for the cold temperatures.)
2. by bringing food and water in reusable containers and creating no waste while skiing
3. by choosing ski resorts that use alternative energy sources, recycle and offer carbon offset coupons
4. by using older, pre-owned skis, poles and boots and keeping them in tune myself
5. by talking to friends and family about the importance of skiing green
6. and by using hats and scarves I knitted myself.
