There are many ways to look at this subject. One is by the industry and how this subject could affects the local businesses. I personally would feel an affect of the banning of snowmobiles in the park. I work for a company that manufactures snowmobiles and the grooming equipment that keeps the trails open. There is a great amount of revenue that comes from the thriving industry. There are some 85,000 visitors each winter that generates over 30 million dollars throughout the three surrounding states. The other way to look at this subject is the pollution that these snowmobiles create. "Tests have been done to prove that just one snowmobile creates the same amount of pollution that of 100 automobiles" (The New York Times, 2002). They generate up to 68% of all the carbon monoxide and up to 90% of all the hydrocarbons emitted in the park. This has been proven to be a huge factor when it comes to nature along with the plants and animals in the area.

The ski industry comprises of ten operational ski resorts (Figure 1) (NIER, 2006) worth over A$906 million. Yet, only “0.15% of the total continent” (Pickering, 2009) regularly receives snow as a result of low attitude mountains. Consequently, the limited area of snow is not the only limiting agent to skiing seasons with growing concerns of climate change.

The cost of skiing, ski equipment, left tickets, traveling to the mountains, and staying at a resort it far too expensive for the majority of black Americans to attain. Skiing is an economic investment that many African Americans cannot invest in. Also, black people do not reside in the rural mountainous areas where skinning occurs, so they have no familiarity with a sport like skiing. A Canadian survey studied in 1995 revealed that skiing is passed on for generations and that longtime skiers were exposed to skiing as a child. The thing is that when there’s not a family history of participation in skiing the likelihood for most African Americans picking up skiing is very slim. Jennifer Lee explains how the everyday racism that is experienced by African Americans while they are alone or in small groups is the reason why they avoid to visit or be part of a white constructed environment. Having only 2% of blacks in the sport, is a major reason why they avoid the sport. If they don't feel comfortable rather discriminated, skiing is not a sport they will consider joining. Let us take it back to the 1950’s, African Americans and Jews were not allowed in restricted southern ski lodges and hotels, and still today blacks are not very welcomed in ski resorts. They are widely excluded from privileged spaces. Harrison states that if there were no socioeconomic barriers in sports, we

Residential, commercial and industrial development is the largest contributors to landscape change in the state of New Jersey. When buildout occurs in one region, development pressure begins in another, virtually insuring the Megalopolis concept of one huge urban corridor stretching between Boston and Washington D.C. Year after year, farmland dwindles, roads become congested, and more residents are left to compete for diminishing natural resources. Desperate measures and newer technologies are incorporated to replace poor planning and lack of vision on behalf of decision-makers caught between competing interests. When the long term health and wellbeing of the established population and the short term gain of a

Last weekend I have visited three quite similar to each other ski resorts in Utah - Park City, Deer Valley and the Canyons. Resorts constitute a single ski area in Park City, just 40 minutes East from Salt Lake City. As a major center of the region is Park City - surround the town with innumerable boutiques, shops, cafes, restaurants, ice skating rinks and bridges. The town was founded as a result of "silver rush", and the first skiers up into the mountains just in mining trolleys. Until now, the glory of Park City as a silver mining center outshines its reputation as a ski resort, but after 2002 the situation seriously aligned in favor of expanding the popularity of skiing in Park City and its surrounding resorts. The central street of Park

With July 2013 recorded as one of the worst snowfalls in the history of Australia winters, well concerned fears are fulminating regarding the future of the ski industry, namely the ski resorts that reside in the Snowy Mountain region including Thredbo, Perisher, Charlotte’s Pass and the Selwyn Snowfields, and several major Victorian ski resorts including Mt Buller, Mt Hotham and Falls Creek. The Alps are the only region on the Australian mainland in which deep snow falls naturally, however, with the ongoing impact that global warming has left upon our natural environment, it feels ominously close that the premonition of a snow-deprived winter may be as soon as 2050. More erratic looking winters have confirmed the beliefs of many that the ski industry may not be viable beyond the mid-century mark, given that the ski industry’s economic viability is highly sensitive and contingent on the number of days with good snow cover that are received each year. According to a government commissioned report, the ski industries initial fears are well-founded with ski seasons to be predicted to be 10 weeks shorter, and the snow depth considerably declined. While some may reflect upon the 2013 winter and overlook the enormity of the issue, scientists predict that the impact of global warming means the long-term outlook for the ski-industry is bleak, and not positive. Not only does a lack of snowfall presents environmental consequences, but also poses a series of consequences
