I agree zippyman - the costs of traveling to our environment are huge...but I am glad that Aspen/Snowmass is doing what they can to mitigate their own impacts on the environment. They are really showing that being a successful company and being a steward of the environment don't have to be exclusive, but can go hand-in-hand.

Of course nothing done at Aspen to be environmentally sensitive can mitigate the deterimental effects of the jet fuel expended in getting to Aspen.

Money drives Aspen. Dress it up any way you want.

Damn, but I do love the Aspen Food & Wine Festival, anything snow or mass, fresh champagne powder, the sound of my board hitting the snow at the top of the lift, lobby bar noises at the Hotel Jerome.

I'll be back!
