Prospect Ski Area

Quick News brief:

Prospect Ski Area, the cross country trail system near Bennington VT where the Williams-college, Mt. Anthony and Greylock Highschool teams ski is looking into ways to drastically cut back emissions and energy use.

Owner and operator Steve said he hopes to run his snow cats entirely off of bio-diesel by next year as well as looking into forms of wind power for his lodge. Sugaloaf and Sunday River Ski areas already run snow cats on bio-diesel and purchase wind power. Also the Middlebury snow bowl has gone carbon neutral by purchasing renewable energy and carbon credits for the vehicles.
