And Then There Were Three – Three resorts are open this weekend, and it’s the last weekend for two of them. Like a high school graduation party, Echo Mountain and Loveland are ending the season with some pomp, circumstance and senior steeze.

The Environment In Which We Ski
by Jennifer on Apr.15, 2010, under General
The 40th anniversary of Earth Day is coming up later this month. In Ski Country, we feel that every day is Earth Day as resorts are constantly exploring new ways to support our sports’ most valuable asset. As we all work to continue to be good stewards of the environment, we wanted to let skiers and riders know some of the new environmental programs in place this season and ongoing efforts planned for the future: (photo by Dan Sweeney)
