  • Sidecountry Is Backcountry
    Sidecountry is Backcountry By Doug Chabot Carve, February 2013 For many resort skiers, the word “sidecountry” has become a standard definition of backcountry terrain adjacent to a ski area. Usually the acreage on the other side of the boundary is administered by the US Forest Service and the ski area becomes a convenient jumping off point to access public lands. In the last few years skiers have overwhelmingly embraced this access as the in-bound crowds ski up new snow at a ferocious pace. Untracked powder is a dwindling resource, an addictive drug, and access gates are the needle in a vein to a quick fix. Some resorts use sidecountry as a marketing scheme to draw customers. Similarly, hard goods manufacturers sell specific clothing and skis aimed at sidecountry users. As in any marketing campaign, the upside is enhanced (“Face shots for everyone!”), while the downsides are hidden (“I’m sorry to inform you your son has died in an avalanche”). Sidecountry users are a distinct group. They are not backcountry skiers and riders nor are they strictly in bounds users. But avalanches are an equal opportunity killer and don’t care if you are on a snowmobile, snowboard, fat skis, touring gear or snowshoes. Avalanches don’t care if you’ve just ridden a lift and ducked the boundary rope or entered through a gate. Every year the world over, weak layers form in the snowpack, slabs form on top of these layers and when the balance is precarious, people trigger avalanches. Sometimes these slides release just spitting distance from a ski area boundary.

  • Bedrock Geology of the Lake Sunapee Area, West-Central New Hampshire
    A4-1 BEDROCK GEOLOGY OF THE LAKE SUNAPEE AREA, WEST-CENTRAL NEW HAMPSHIRE by Timothy T. Allen, Department of Geology, Keene State College, Keene, NH 03435-2001 INTRODUCTION The regional geology of west-central New Hampshire (Allen, 1997) includes: (1) fold nappes which transported highly metamorphosed deep-basin sediments from the east towards the west over less- metamorphosed shelf sediments and volcanics (Bronson Hill, Figure 1), (2) large syn-kinematic anatectic plutonic sheets (the Mount Clough and Cardigan Plutons, Fig. 1), whose emplacement may have been intimately involved with the formation of the nappes, (3) a series of gneiss domes (Oliverian Plutonic Series, Fig. 1) which subsequently deformed (and metamorphosed) the nappes, and (4) late and post- kinematic magmatism. The Mount Clough and Cardigan plutonic sheets are both heterogeneous granitoids, but being predom- inately granodiorite. The rocks making up the Mount Clough Pluton are known as the Bethlehem Gneiss, while those making up the Cardigan Pluton are called the Kinsman, which is renowned for its megacrystic texture. Although they differ in texture and mineralogy, the Bethlehem Gneiss and the Kinsman are chemically very similar (Billings and Wilson, 1964) and cannot be distinguished from one another on the basis of detailed isotopic studies (Lathrop et al., 1994, 1996). Thus it has been suggested that the magmas forming these plutons originated from the same parent material. The mineralogical differences may result from different environmental conditions during crystallization

  • MAKING MEANING out of MOUNTAINS: SKIING, the ENVIRONMENT and ECO-POLITICS by MARK CHRISTOPHER JOHN STODDART M.A., University Of
    MAKING MEANING OUT OF MOUNTAINS: SKIING, THE ENVIRONMENT AND ECO-POLITICS by MARK CHRISTOPHER JOHN STODDART M.A., University of Victoria, 2004 B.A., Athabasca University, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2008 © Mark Christopher John Stoddart 2008 ii Abstract This research provides a sociological analysis of skiing as a form of outdoor recreation and nature tourism in British Columbia, Canada. A qualitative multi-method approach is used, combining discourse analysis, interviews with skiers, and unobtrusive field observation at Whistler Blackcomb and Whitewater ski resorts. Through a focus on discourse, embodied interactions among humans and non-humans, and flows of power, this research describes an environmental ambiguity at the centre of skiing. There is a tension between interpretations of skiing as an environmentally-sustainable practice and notions of skiing as an environmental and social problem. Skiing is based on the symbolic consumption of nature and is understood by many participants as a way of entering into a meaningful relationship with the non-human environment. However, interpretations of skiing as a non-consumptive use of non-human nature are too simple. Social movement groups disrupt pro-environmental discourses of skiing by challenging the sport’s ecological and social legitimacy. Many skiers also articulate a self- reflexive environmental critique of their sport. In these instances, skiing is brought into the realm of politics. Recreational forms of interaction with the non-human environment tend to be at the periphery of environmental sociology.
