Ecologically sound skiing?

Yesterday I told you about the ecological concerns I have about going
skiing. Can I enjoy skiing without feeling bad about it? That may be
complicated, but there are ways to reduce the environmental impact of
a holiday in the snow.

In the edition of February 2007 of the magazine of
'Milieudefensie' (Dutch affiliate of Friends of the Earth), Jan
Knaapen wrote a nice piece about it:

On wintersporters.nl there's a piece about using satellite technology
(still draws my attention as an aerospace engineer) to manage the
ecology in skiing areas:
