Aspen Ski Resort

I just visited the Aspen skiing website and I saw a cool thing that they are doing to go green.

Through its Save Snow campaign, the Aspen Skiing Co. has been bringing global awareness to climate change and its threat to snowfall in alpine regions.

It has achieved ISO-certification as a "green" company, the first of only two ski resorts in the country to achieve this recognition. It also made the first wind power purchase in the U.S. ski industry (and still spends $25,000 annually on this direct wind power). It became the first large ski resort to buy renewable wind power credits.

Go Aspen!  - Liam
