1. Moelltal Glacier Ski Resort: Romance at the Summit October 02, 2008 This is not a mountain slope skiing resort. It is not an Alps skiing resort. It is a glacier skiing resort in which snow cover is complemented by another glacier, the Stubai. This means that during winter, the almost 6 miles of ski runs will have an excellent cover of snow, as well as six feet of snow base. But the snow cover, the snow base, and their pristine white landscape are not the reasons why the new ski resort of Moelltal Glacier is considered a very romantic ski resort. The romance is found at the summit. The summit of the new ski resort of Moelltal Glacier is located at about 2 ... (read more) Author: Darren Chow

2. Les 2 Alpes, France: From Schools To Slopes September 22, 2008 Les 2 Alpes translates in English as The Two Alps; however, the "2" here refers to the two smaller towns to the north and south, Mont De Lans and Venosc. Les 2 Alpes is popular for two reasons: 1) It is lucky enough to have Europe's largest glacier, Mont-de-Lans. It is ski-friendly because it provides open spaces for skiers. 2) Les 2 Alpes comes second to Chamonix as France's oldest ski resorts. Just because it comes as a close second, however, shouldn't take away from its grandeur. An underground funicular railway titled The Dome Express opened in the late 1990s. It operates in the winte...

5. Hiking In Glacier National Park July 12, 2008 At nearly one and a half million acres Glacier National Park in Montana is impressive and boasts over 200 lakes and streams, 50 glaciers and more than 700 miles of wonderful hiking trails. These numbers are impressive, but they do not even start to convey the breathtaking beauty of this national park. They do not begin to describe how the mountains around Lake MacDonald glow pink in the setting sun and almost force you to stand transfixed to this view until darkness falls. Neither do they describe the huge field of tall bear grass stalks with their white flowers which simply shout at you ... (read more) Author: Donald Saunders

8. Learn About the Water Purification Process July 02, 2008 The water purification process used by a treatment facility varies. In order to explain water purification in its entirety, visual aids are helpful, but as with many other scientific procedures, you can think of it as a circle. Where to begin on that circle is difficult to decide. Let's start with a brief explanation of why we need a water purification process. In old movies, you would see a cowboy fill his canteen from a mountain stream. The stream could have been fed by a glacier, a spring or other groundwater, as well as regular rains.

18. Tobogganing. Just like the old grey mare, she ain't what she used to be. March 24, 2008 Tobogganing, now called Bobsledding. The word conjures up memories of colorful, sleek, racing machines, speeding at breakneck speed down a high-banked icy bobsled run.

Irma and I are old enough to remember another kind of tobogganing. Ours took place back when we were youngsters. Before television came along to take the fun out of it. This was before we had met.
