Ski Washington Challenge
Ski Washington Challenge. 2007 Road trip Journal, page 1 SKI W ASHINGTON CHALLENGE NOTE: This is a work in progress. Please check back from time to time for more updates. The idea to challenge snowriders to visit all of Washington’s ski areas came from Steve Coxen, in cooperation with the Northwest Ski Club Council. It is a natualr extension of last year’s Ski Oregon Challenge. The Oregon Challenge continues this year, but many of us are turning our sights to Washington. The idea is to ski at least 10 of Washington’s 14 ski areas. You can do it in 5 to 7 weekends. Several people are planning to see, ski and ride all of Washington this season 1. David Schor did it on a snowboard, and was the first one to visit all the areas. completeing all 12 ski resorts before the end of December. Good thing, because he then broke his leg on New Year’s Eve! See his blog at: http://skiwashington.blogspot.com. 2. McCoy Smith planned to do it on telemark skis as well as alpine skis, and also purchased an item at every ski area, just like he did last year. But, he spent a large part of the winter working outside the country, so he didn’t have enough time left to meet the challenge. 3. Emilio Trampuz met the challenget on mid-fat alpine skis, and taook lots of photos. 4. Ed Palmer is working on it too. Watch out for this guy. He starts slow and then suddenly comes up from behind at full speed! The adventure took us to places we had not visited before. -
Climate Change “A Challenge for Ski Resorts in the State of Washington, USA”
Climate Change “a challenge for ski resorts in the state of Washington, USA” MSc Thesis September 28, 2007 Peter Hofman Student MSc Economic Geography S1400355 A research in cooperation with: University of Washington, Tacoma USA University of Groningen, The Netherlands Climate Change, a challenge for ski resorts in the state of Washington, USA Preface To finish the Master Economic Geography at the University of Groningen, writing a thesis is indispensable. Because I went to the University of Washington in Tacoma to write this thesis, it was difficult to find a subject. Searching a subject abroad is more difficult because you do not actually know what is going on. I read some articles in the Netherlands about climate change, and how it could affect ski resorts in the Alps. I was wondering if the same effects where going on in the state of Washington ,USA. Brian Coffey, my tutor in Tacoma, send me an assessment of the University of Oregon about the economic impacts of climate change on Washington state. Key point was that snow sports areas accounting for over 40 percent of average visits to Washington ski areas during the past ten years are based at low elevations at which climate change impacts on snow cover are likely. After these facts I decided to use this subject for my thesis. I am very interested in ski resorts, because I am a fervent snowboarder myself. Economics impacts of climate change is an interest point of me too, and in view of my Master study Economic Geography significant. To get a better understanding of the impacts on the micro-scale, interviews with managers of ski resorts were indispensable. -
