Station d'Ax - 1 Station - 3 domaines skiables

Station d'Ax - 1 Station - 3 domaines skiables
This is one of our nearest ski resorts, in the Ariege part of the Pyrenees. While this winter has been very warm and dry you do have to wonder about the long term viability of low level ski resorts. I have just done an article on the OECD report on the effect of global warming on Alpine ski resorts- see Skiing like you care in the French Alps . The fact is that ski stations are in some ways a travesty of what they actually promote, just to see what I mean try visiting a resort in the spring once the snow has melted- the mountain looks like a scared rubbish dump. The fact that ski stations have to embrace a much greener way to opperate both to protect the environment they profit froma nd to help ensure their long term viability

How many scientists does it take to convince anyone of anything- rather a lot it appears, the 4th IPCC report not withstanding its is amazing how the oil industry still find mercenaries to fight for them- nothing to do with the large revenues they have at their disposal of course

Getting Started

Natural Choices is now emerging out of beta, and a wonderful job Steve and Veronia from Archetype have done. Its amazing how some contact are made. After moving down to the Corbieres I signed up to do an Open University course in IT, the Southern European course tutor, Veronia, happened to live in the next village to me- and five years later here I am working with them on my new business.
