 Poster: A snowHead
|
Initially spotted a link to this on the Les Gets lift company website (www.sagets.fr).
Thought it was a pretty good initiative, as I am sure we all leave more than just our footprints behind.
The following link is where and when you can participate in your resort clean up.

Les Gets' clean up is on the 30th May if anyone is interested.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I've heard of this in other, smaller resorts. When the snow melts, all manner of stuff is revealed  I've always been impressed with the rubbish points in Les Gets village though - you can drop off cardboard, plastic, tin etc all in one not unattractive (for a bin...) unit.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yep I've heard of that running in other resorts, can't see much on that link for a number of the tarentaise resorts apart from Val Despair and La Roz..although I know these things happen in Peisey-Vallandry (for example!)
If I was still out there, I'd definitely be chipping in...

Great initative garyscott20. Is anyone aware of this kind of thing happening in other countries? When I was in Sölden at Easter and the snow was melting in some areas it was surprising how much 'junk' you see when the snow is no longer around. And that's aside from the mass of ski poles you come across!
And what could be better than clambering around doing a good impression of a mountain goat, toping up your tan, whilst tidying up the area for you and others....

Important as winter mountain litter can be a serious fire hazard in the summer.

I'm all in favour of this for areas popular with walkers. For rubbish left by skiers, lift cos should arrange it, so the cost is borne by all skiers.

bertie bassett,
Tignes organises a clean up day towards the end of each season. All the local school children and ski instructors take part (It is part of the ski instructors community service)
