We believe climate change is the issue of our
time, and the greatest threat to the ski
industry. We also know you cant solve climate
change without addressing buildings.  In short,
if you want to call yourself a green resort, you
must have an extensive, comprehensive, growing,
and continuously improving green building
program. Auden Schendler, Director of
Environmental Affairs for Aspen Ski Company.
