Interesting bit on how resorts fudge on their ski conditions reports
Are we getting accurate ski reports from resorts? (AP photo)
Picked up this link from the adventure life blog. Interesting, short read. But be sure to click on the NPR report on the issue. Pretty informative. One thing we have learned is that social networking cam be powerful — powerful enough to keep some ski resorts accountable. And hats off to skireport.com (used here weekly), which came up with a phone app which allows users to report ski conditions as they see it.
