The Snow Bowl was recently featured in an article titled “A Course of a Different Color” in Business People Vermont magazine. The article highlights General Manager Peter Mackey’s contributions to the Snow Bowl, his long connection to the mountain (beginning at age 5), as well as the many changes that have occurred over the years.

The article also focuses on the Rikert Ski Touring Center Mike Hussey, its new director.

Check out this interview with Toby Smith, a photographer that accompanied EIA on one of our Madagascar trips. He helped to get us amazing footage, as well as document illegal logging. EIA intends to use Toby’s pictures and video to prosecute those responsible for creating the international market outside of Madagascar.

EIA’s Forest Campaign Outreach Coordinator, Anne Middleton, has a guest column in The High Point Enterprise! This informative article details how worldwide illegal logging has declined as much as 25 percent over the past decade, with reductions as high as 50 percent to 75 percent in key producer countries. The report emphasized the role the U.S. Lacey Act plays in motivating importers of wood to ensure their product comes from viable sources. This is great news, since EIA played a key role in helping pass the Lacey Act!
