Our study makes projections, based on ski industry statistical data, assessing the monetary impact of the development on the regional economy, which appears to be significant. It does not contain an analysis of the cost of constructing the interconnect. The Hamlet of North Creek and Gore Mountain have a rich skiing history. Many ofthe first ski trails were created from the old tote roads used to extract lumber and garnet ore on the area now referred to as the "Ski Bowl." This section ofthe mountain, opening in 1932, became one ofthe first ski areas in the country. In this era, skiers from Manhattan and beyond were delivered to North Creek by ski train.

  • NSAA Ski Lift Safety Fact Sheet
    CONTACT: Adrienne Saia Isaac Director of Marketing & Communications [email protected] (720) 963-4217 office UPDATED: December 2018 NSAA Ski Lift Safety Fact Sheet In the 2017/18 season, ski lifts and aerial tramways transported a total of 53.3 million skiers a total of 200 million miles. The last guest fatality resulting from a mechanical malfunction of a ski lift occurred in the 2016/17 season. Since 2004, there have been three fatalities resulting from falls from chairlifts unrelated to mechanical malfunctions. A passenger is five times more likely to suffer a fatality riding an elevator than a ski lift, and more than eight times more likely to suffer a fatality riding in a car than on a ski lift. Lift maintenance, safety and operation is governed by ANSI B77 and regulated in many states by a state agency. Overview Aerial ropeways (including lifts, trams, and gondolas) remain one of the safest methods of transportation. Ski areas across the United States are committed to lift safety and have an excellent safety record for uphill transportation as a result of this commitment. There is no other transportation system that is as safely operated, with so few injuries and fatalities, as the uphill transportation provided by chairlifts at ski resorts in the United States. Methodology & Terms NSAA compiles lift incident information and updates this Ski Lift Safety Fact Sheet annually to provide ski areas and the public with the most current information on the ski industry’s commitment to overall lift safety, financial investment in lifts and lift maintenance, industry education and training on lifts, and frequently asked questions about chairlifts.

  • Sustainable Slopes for Ski Areas
    FOREWORD s a society, we find ourselves needing more than ever to escape every A day pressures by heading for the outdoors. With that increasing demand comes impacts and a number of emerging environmental concerns that must be addressed proactively.The ski industry adopted this Environmental Charter in 2000 as a framework for sustainability in our operations. We are revising it today to renew our commitment to responsible stewardship and fos- ter improved environmental performance industry-wide. The premier alpine recreation sites we have today were made possible through the vision, pioneering spirit and hard work of our industry’s founders. The value of those efforts holds today, as resorts are showcases of quality recreation opportunities for skiers, snowboarders, and countless summer guests as well. Although many forces may draw us to the slopes—the thrill and excitement of sliding down a mountain, the chance to reconnect with family and friends—we can never underestimate the value of the natural surroundings in renewing the human spirit.We respect the natural settings that we call home and hope that through our current efforts, we will preserve this same experience for future generations to enjoy. —Michael Berry, National Ski Areas Association President December 2005 1 INTRODUCTION marks the five-year anniversary for Sustainable Slopes and the first revision 2005 to the Environmental Charter. This revision ensures that our Principles are current and reflect the latest technology and best management practices to foster continuing improvement in environmental performance. It also acknowledges and incorporates emerging resources available from our Partnering Organizations as well as specific new ‘options for get- ting there’ from endorsing resorts.
