  • From: Lee Greenwald To
    From: Lee Greenwald To: FS-objections-pnw-mthood Subject: Twilight Parking lot Date: Monday, March 03, 2014 11:44:20 PM Attachments: 2013 International Report on Snow Mountain Tourism.pdf Cross-country skiing experiencing a Nordic renaissance Olympian.pdf Twilight Parking Lot OBJECTION 3-1-14 EAE v2.doc Dear objections official, I previously raised several objections concerning Mt Hood Meadows application to build the Twilight Parking lot. Though some, not all, of these objections were ostensibly addressed in their responses, they were not addressed fully nor adequately. I raised concerns regarding Meadows assumptions on growth in demand for Alpine skiing. The last ten years MHM stated continued growth trends, but actually the most recent previous two years that has not been the trend. The true growth is in Nordic skiing. The majority of the Nordic community is against the creation of the Twilight lot without a comprehensive analysis of potential future use of this terrain, and nearby Nordic trails and connecting trails. This type of analysis has not been done, and would be precluded by proceeding with the construction of the Twilight lot before all future use options have been considered. Second, I asked that MHM be required by the FS to place the funds, $500,000, for a Nordic center in a designated account for a future Nordic center building, and a restrictive timeline for construction. If the parking lot is to be built, the Nordic community should have some prior input on the Nordic facility to be built prior to the lots final approval. The response that was posted simply stated that "a" facility would be built within three years.

  • Assessment of Maximal Aerobic Capacity in Ski Mountaineering: a Laboratory-Based Study
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Assessment of Maximal Aerobic Capacity in Ski Mountaineering: A Laboratory-Based Study Verena Menz * , Martin Niedermeier , Rainer Stehle, Hendrik Mugele and Martin Faulhaber Department of Sport Science, University of Innsbruck, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria; [email protected] (M.N.); [email protected] (R.S.); [email protected] (H.M.); [email protected] (M.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +43-0512-507-45885 . Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the agreement in maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) be- tween a running protocol and a ski mountaineering (SKIMO) protocol. Eighteen (eleven males, seven . females) ski mountaineers (age: 25 ± 3 years) participated in the study. VO2max, maximum heart rate (HRmax), and maximum blood lactate concentration (BLAmax) were determined in an incremental . uphill running test and an incremental SKIMO-equipment-specific test. VO2max did not differ be- tween the SKIMO and uphill running protocols (p = 0.927; mean difference –0.07 ± 3.3 mL/min/kg), nor did HRmax (p = 0.587, mean difference –0.7 ± 5.1 bpm). A significant correlation was found . between VO2max SKIMO and VO2max running (p ≤ 0.001; ICC = 0.862 (95% CI: 0.670−0.946)). The coefficient of variation was 4.4% (95% CI: 3.3−6.5). BLAmax was significantly lower for SKIMO . compared to running (12.0 ± 14.1%; p = 0.002). This study demonstrates that VO2max determined with a traditional uphill running protocol demonstrates good agreement with an equipment-specific Citation: Menz, V.; Niedermeier, M.; SKIMO protocol.
