Ski Areas Join National Resources Defense Council in Keep Winter Cool Campaign

Ski areas throughout the United States have teamed up with the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) for the "Keep Winter Cool" campaign to fight global warming. To show their leadership, 10 ski resorts are purchasing large quantities of green power, which is electricity produced from renewable energy sources. In addition, California's Mammoth Mountain continues to use solar energy to provide heat and power to its lift shacks, Utah's The Canyons is using solar power for lighting, and the River Run Information Center at Colorado's Keystone Resort is powered by a solar energy system and relies heavily on natural lighting during the day.
