Title: The Impact of a Reduced
Winter Recreation Season in Oregon: Mount Bachelor Ski Resort, Oregon Author:
Albert Wright Abstract: Ski Resorts provide a large economic positive to any
community by drawing tourism and money to an area. After the establishment of
a successful ski area it becomes a economic engine by raising GDP,
population, and economic density (Booth,1999). Due
to the rising data on climate change, the future of ski
resorts are in doubt. By exemplifying the solutions to climate change,
the ski industry is becoming a positive player within the climate change
debate. By analyzing the
practices of Mount Bachelor, Oregon I will see if their response to climate
change is different from the rest of the industry and if Mount Bachelor is an
economic positive to its region. Key References: Booth, D. E. (1999). Spatial patterns in the economic development of the mountain west. Growth and Change, 30(3), 384-405. doi:http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journal.asp?ref=0017-4815 |
