I like your site, your touring blogs are great reads. I found your TGR article through a google image search, pretty random. Living in Truckee I felt the whole POW thing was shortsighted, but it is so hard to argue against something that you are ultimately for, and you did a good job with it. Carbon Emissions, end of story. Yeah right, it's so much more involved than that, and your blog really shows that to the skiing community. The trick is finding the most friendly way to provide the facts, and through a blog like yours that is possible. Just don't come down on yourself thinking your ideas are kooky, they are not. It's just easy to feel that way when most others around us do not research nor think for themselves. Even the people I once regarded as intelligent and well educated seem to have no interest in anything that is not mainstream science and it is frustrating.
I respect your activism take on the whole touring experience, I am also upset when I see a clear sky go to shit in a few hours. If anyone paid attention, they would notice a clear sky at 8am, a few trails at 10 and then it spreads over the sky by noon resulting in a haze the rest of the day. Even just tracking one, and seeing one jet go by without a trail, or with a trail that dissapears and another persists. It's tough to prove entirely because of the potential elevation differences, unknown atmospheric conditions etc but when you see a jet take a 180 turn, its becomes a bit more obvious.
Anyways, keep doing what your doing, it's not easy being at the for front of any idea, especially one that upsets the herd. The scariest thing in the world is group think and mob mentality, that was most apparent for me after the boston bombing when everyone called to have those boys killed without even a trial. So keep spreading the world, and don't think your crazy, the others who don't consider anything other than what they are told are the crazy ones because our reinforcement of what is real and what is not real is skewed and backwards.
In other thoughts, I wish I moved to Jackson this past winter instead of staying in Truckee. Tahoe was terrible, there is no denying something went on this year, and I hope we can get to the bottom of what it was.
