Keeping up with past patterns, the Harvard ski team finished ninth for the third time this season at the 98th annual Dartmouth Winter Carnival this weekend. In the last two seasons, the Crimson has earned eight consecutive ninth-place results and has stayed consistent so far this winter. The Big Green came out on top, pushing past the 10 other competing North East schools. The defending NCAA champions exercised their home course advantage, earning a team total of 725 points. Of the Crimson’s 256 points, 29 were put up by sophomore Christopher Kinner on the Alpine side...
...bright sun, the cold crisp air, the thrill of schussing down a snow-packed mountain surrounded by powder and pine. On the surface, there would seem to be few better ways to celebrate Nordic nature than with a ski vacation--until you consider the wildlife displaced by the trails, the ecosystems destroyed by artificial snow and the energy-hungry lifts, snow machines and hotels that are an integral part of a skiing holiday. Not to mention the miles in the SUV to get everyone there. Ski resorts by their very nature have a pretty big carbon footprint. They are also...
Last summer Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Hancock, Mass., became the first ski area to install its own wind turbine; nearly half the resort's energy needs are provided by the 1.5-MW tower. Producing its own energy also allows the resort to shield guests from higher room rates caused by rising electricity prices.

Buck Hill Ski Area in Burnsville, Minn., buys enough wind power to run 85% of its operations. And Mammoth Mountain in California...

...such format. In fact, it has no format at all. The introduction provided above is entirely my own, and the video actually opens in medias res. Ostensibly, “Scream” is about a theft of some sort. Otherwise why would Nicole Scherzinger sport a ski mask indoors? Or why would Timbaland have video screens installed in the trunk of his whip that read “Target Secured?” There are other questions to ask though. Like why does Timbaland insist on going shirtless for so much of the video? And what, exactly, is this...
