High Score for the Aspen Skiing Company

The Aspen Skiing Company did well on the latest environmental report card from the Ski Area Citizens' Coalition. It's no surprise though, to Ski-Co workers like Auden Schendler. He's the Company's VP of Sustainability and he says employees are constantly cranking on various aspects of sustainability. Recently the Ski-Co added two LEED certified buildings and it cut its energy use by using renewable sources. There are plans in the future too to possibly build a small hydro electric project and the Company is looking at using gas from coal mines to generate electricity. Researchers behind the report card say the Aspen Skiing Company is a green leader for the industry but they add, more can be done to keep improving.
