I guess when you ski on an ugly east coast hill, seeing a wind turbine is something to talk about.  When you are skiing in the cottonwoods, all it takes to be impressed is the view of the terrain your about to ski.

That is such a good idea...some ski mountains are using wind energy from windfarmers to provide for less energy cost and emissions
