    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.

  • Faceting Above Crusts and Associated Slab Avalanching in the Columbia Mountains
    FACETING ABOVE CRUSTS AND ASSOCIATED SLAB AVALANCHING IN THE COLUMBIA MOUNTAINS Bruce Jamieson1,2 * and Paul Langevin1 1Dept. of Civil Engineering, 2Dept. of Geology and Geophysics University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta ABSTRACT: Numerous slab avalanches including unexpected human triggered avalanches are re- ported on crusts. For 70 dry slab avalanches that slid on a crust in the Columbia Mountains of western Canada, detailed profiles showed faceted crystals (60%) or surface hoar (33%) on the crust. Many of the facet layers were thin (<5-10 mm thick) and difficult to observe in manual snow profiles without snow- pack tests. Two field studies with closely spaced thermistors showed faceting at the base of the overly- ing dry snow within a day. One time series of shear frame tests of facets-on-crust showed an initial strength loss during faceting followed by a slow strength increase. Observations of the spatial distribu- tion of near crust faceting are summarized. KEYWORDS: avalanche forecasting, snowpack stratigraphy, crusts, melt-freeze layers, faceted crystals 1.

  • Regional Profiles – Kootenay Rockies
    KOOTENAY ROCKIES REGIONAL PROFILE BUILDING TOURISM WITH INSIGHT January 2010 This publication summarizes tourism indicators for the Kootenay Rockies (KR) tourism region and provides a general overview of the area. The most recent annual data as well as historical trend data are presented, including visitor volume, accommodation and transportation indicators, and information about regional tourism products. Wherever possible, provincial data is provided to allow comparison between regional and provincial tourism performance. Visitor Volume Indicators REGIONAL CUSTOMS ENTRIES . The Kootenay Rockies region as a whole represents 3.3% of all provincial customs entries. All entry points experienced decreases in entries from 2007, with the largest decrease reported in Waneta (39.3%), Rykerts (36.9%) and Cranbrook (28%). The majority of customs entries for the region were through Kingsgate (30%), Roosville (23.9%), and Rykerts (19.3%). Roosville was the entry point for the greatest number of overseas visitors to the region with 38.2% of the 4,586 overseas custom entries (followed by Kingsgate with 23.8%). Kingsgate also provided the entry point for the greatest percentage of visitors from the United States (U.S.) (30.2%), followed by Roosville (23.6%). It should be noted that regional customs entries can be misleading, as many international visitors to the Kootenay Rockies tourism region initially enter through border crossings in other tourism regions, including those outside of the province. Year-end figures reveal a significant decrease in the number of overnight entries from U.S. visitors compared to 2007 (down 24.2%), and a decrease in the number of overseas visitors (down 13.2%).
