    I agree with you, I find a lot a "enviromentalists" to be hipocrits. They fly in private jets to enviromental conferences and then condem people like me for not being environmentally sensitive. They write checks for carbon offsets to make up for thier own waste. In medival times this was called buying an indulgence from the church, preforgiven sin, as such. You are better off not to sin, and the environment is better off not to be polleted in the first place. Carbon offsets are a sham, just a way to relieve the guilt of rich people. I am looked down on for driving a low gas mileage old cluncker truck, you now the one I can afford, even if I could double the mpg it would take years for me to make up the cost difference of a new car hybrid. The fact is all living things impact the enviroment, it is just a matter of trying to balance environmental need with economic need and maintain a decent standard of living so we can still do fun things like skiing.

    Funny and it shows the fallacy of getting in shape just once a year, physical fitness should be all year long, one of the benefits of which is being a better skier.

    I was stationed in Hawaii in the 80's so I know what it is to miss the snow.

    Sometimes I think that all these fancifications of skiing, like ski in ski out condos, gourmet restaurants, and high priced bars diminish the sport. Skiing is to be enjoyed by itself.
