Mt. Hood ski areas have come out in support of climate legislation before both the Oregon Legislature and Congress.  Mt. Hood Meadows, Cooper Spur, Timberline, Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, and Summit ski areas say they support the Federal Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act and the Oregon Climate Action Program.  In a statement, the ski areas say the winter sports recreation industry is uniquely vulnerable to feel the environmental and economic impacts of climate change.  They also indicated support for efforts by the Federal Government to manage the National Forest system in a manner which reduces forest fuel loading and encourages the economically productive use of fiber resources to create rural jobs and reduce the incidence of catastrophic wildfires in Oregon.
