    Why the hell is anyone paying attention to him anyway? He's just a geography student. Geography has about as much to do with climate studies as knitting has to quantum physics.

    Because the news media told us to?

    Actually, university level geography isn't just about maps and mountains and stuff. Studying climate change is at the very core of the discipline--especially at the U of C.

    I know those bastards raised the early bird seasons pass by a little over 100 dollars from last season, i say fuck it, next year im moving to whistler, its cheaper there.

    On a side note, a new resort might be opening in Fernie called Heaven's Gate, owned by Heiko, the guy who owned Snow Valley before he sold it to RCR and is now called Fernie Alpine Resort. Having grown frustrated with the way his hill old hill has been run and the disrespect to skiers and boarders and the people of Fernie in general, he wants to open Heavens Gate, a new resort across the valley from Fernie Alpine Resort, I hope it goes through..STICK IT TO RCR HEIKO!!!

    Ok, I'll take exeption to that (assuming it's not tounge-in-cheek). Geography has it's toes in a great many fields. Almost any field that contains a spatial component has a relationship to geography.

    Much of quantitative meteorology grew out of geography in the US.
