...power of positive TV thinking is especially evident in the "faith message" or "prosperity Gospel," a major Pentecostal variant in the 1980s. Its chief exponent is Kenneth Copeland, 49, platform maestro of the bustling Eagle Mountain Chapel outside Fort Worth. Urging viewers to give a tenth of their income to the Lord, Copeland asks himself rhetorically, "Well, Brother Copeland, are you tithing to get?" His answer: "Yes, yes, yes! A thousand times yes!

Jackson should know, since he leads trips along one of the busiest routes in the country. Named after a U.S. Army ski troop that trained in Colorado during World War II, the Tenth Mountain Division Trail stretches 40 miles from Aspen toward Vail. Begun in 1982, the path winds past three high-altitude huts (the largest sleeps 20), with another six on the way if the U.S. Forest Service approves extending the course the full 79 miles to Vail. Stoves, cooking gear and mattresses are provided in the huts, but skiers must lug their own food and sleeping bags...
