...flight back to the U.S. right now/got in all seven ski days. While entering the plane, we were almost knocked unconscious by the smell of industrial-strength disinfectant that they laid down during the turnaround; however, no one complained! Due to the fact that U.S. carriers need to bring...

Nice reports. If the road to Alta is shut it looks like Sundance is the way to go. The scenery looks lovely. We checked out Snowbasin on a couple of days between Christmas and New Year a few years ago. It was not too crowded and we had a good time. I got the impression it was a perfect hill for...

I understand how avoiding out-of-pocket day tickets could be a motivational force (I'd do it too); however, Sundance is a really nice non-industrial ski area that you should try -- check out the pix from my two days there in 2016 and 2006. Now that Solitude is an unlimited Ikon resort with...

...signs throughout, this one has an extended explanation of why you shouldn't ski in the woods and disturb the black grouse bird: An industrial-sized hut at the top of two lifts: With oversized pillows to relax on: Snoozing in the sun: A chapel with a view: I pulled into Mühlbach at...

...from four days earlier: My final trip descent at 4 pm with shadows encroaching on most of the runs: While Hinterstoder is a third-tier industrial ski area, if I'd gone during an offpeak period, I imagine that it'd be easy to rack up lots of vert with plenty of enjoyable offpiste on the...

...contrast to the 5 previous pics and as good an illustration as any of the difference between on and off piste skiing at what James calls “industrial ski resorts.” That volume of skiers also generates lots of moguls by mid-afternoon, which can be quite a workout especially in less than ideal...

...BCC. I'm grateful for the two-minute stroll to the Apex lift and the quick drive to Brighton; lift tix are far cheaper; there's less of an industrial tourism vibe; and I'm not comfortable skiing the top double-black stuff in LCC, so it works out for me. Yes, if the Ikon areas in the NE were...

...by Kitzbuhel with 7. As with Perisher, some of the European 8-packs serve congested base areas with not that much vertical. The "industrial ski areas" we visited have the following number of 8-packs, but we only rode some of them: Arlberg 2 Ski Welt 5 Kitzbuhel 7 Saalbach 4 Ischgl 4...

After ChrisC's January report: James is incorrect on both counts above. Even though the lift system can handle it, it's definitely still industrial skiing in April as there are staggered French school holidays through the whole month. And it's even busier during British school holidays tied...

To get less of an industrial tourism vibe, to say nothing of what should be excellent conditions, that's when I would go there too. Val d'Isère's planned closing date is May 1, Tignes May 8 -- I'm sure those dates are due to lack of skiers more than lack of snow, especially this season. A shame...

...from Nice, Roubion is the newest ski area (1975) in the Maritimes Alpes region and prides itself on being a family-oriented option to industrial tourism, both skiing and otherwise. As I drove further uphill, it became apparent that following the previous day's powderfest in Auron the skies...

...he is about to crash into the protective fences just before the final turn. The fans are part of the show. One of them twice set off industrial size flares. Authorities would freak out if someone did this at a US sporting event. Here are some cowbells used by the hometown Austrian fans...

...high-speed lifts and no safety bars on any of the chairs) with a big convenience factor. Even though it's good-sized, you never get that industrial-tourism feel of the big mountains on the other side of the tunnel. They're currently reporting 257 inches YTD -- isn't their average snowfall in...

Please provide citation(s) to the appropriate peer reviewed scientific research papers that support this assertion. Otherwise it just seems like troll bait.

What do you think about skiing on artificial snow made from sewerage waste water,that has been found to contain pharmaceuticals, hepatitis, industrial pollutants and drugs that could be harmful to children playing in the snow and to skiers? Would you let your children ski their? That is the...

I am an industrial design student at Kendall College of Art & Design working on the research portion of my thesis project. I am researching snow sports equipment management, and need snow sports enthusiasts to take my zoomerang survey. http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22EQHJPWSSE …or…...

+1 It really does have a different (i.e. less industrial tourism) ambiance from the Cottonwoods ski areas, and if you get in a conversation with the locals, they will point that out to you. Here are pix from my one visit in January 2005: http://www.zoneski.com/forum/index.php/ ... 3-janvier/

...you have to stop burning fossil fuels. The mix is 1/3 electricity generation, 1/3 transportation, 1/3 residental heating + commercial + industrial. The only viable alternative is nuclear power supplemented with a blend of things like solar hot water panels, geothermal heat pumps, tidal...

...do in almost every town. In short, “alternate world” Minturn would not be some Rust Belt type town withering away after the end of the industrial era, but more likely a healthy mountain community -not without its share of issues- that would be nice to live in. Colorado’s population has more...

That seems a bit fishy/weird. Not sure I follow. Was he saying that they inadvertently created a slide path when they cut the lift line? If so, how would they know that right now? Did it slide during the current storm cycle? Someone on TGR who seems to have inside info posted that if you...
