Ski season: It's almost here! (The forecast in Boulder is for snow today ... here's hoping.) One nice change I'm looking forward to:
Vail Resorts, which includes the ski areas at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, and (in California) Heavenly, recently launched the
Appetite for Life program, a commitment to using natural and organic foods in
all its food-service restaurants (including those at its
RockResorts properties). That means
Coleman Natural Meats,
Horizon Organic dairy items, zero trans fats,
sustainable seafood, local items, and even certified organic and fair-trade
Starbucks coffee will be on the menu starting with this year's ski season. And that's no small amount of food: Last year, they served more than 2.5 million lunches, making Vail Resorts "the largest restaurant operator in North America to
exclusively serve natural meats and organic dairy products." This is the kind of trend that makes me happy.
