Always Remember YOUR Responsibility Code
  You may be joined by skiers, snowboarders, snowshoers, cross-country skiers, etc. of all skill levels on a ski mountain. It is your responsibility to show respect and demonstrate common sense when on the mountain. Understanding your skill set and not pushing yourself beyond your comfort level is important.

THIS CODE is endorsed by The American Ski Federation, National Ski Patrol, United States Ski Industries Association, Professional Ski Instructors of America, Cross Country Ski Areas Association, United States Ski Association, Ski Coach's Association and other organization

1. Stay in Control. Always be ready to stop or avoid objects ahead of you.
2. Skiers and boarders ahead of you have the right of way.
3. Do not stop in the middle of a trail or in a blind spot on the mountain.
4. Always look uphill and yield to others when starting down the mountain.
5. Always use devices to avoid runaway gear.
6. Obey all signs& warnings posted. Do not enter closed trails or areas.
7. Before using a lift, understand how to load, ride and unload safely.

Greentree Solid Waste Authority- Trash/Recycling 102

AT the compactors/recycling site behind Chisms convenience store

1) big GREEN compactor is for cardboard ONLY. We share this site with Chisms and they have a lot of cardboard.  CLEAN cardboard.  Trash in the compactor makes the cardboard an unacceptable  recycle product.

2) Each of the BLUE BINS are labeled for the recycle product they accept. Toss into the correct bin.

     MIXED PAPER BIN: Cardboard boxes do not go into the Mixed paper bin - only office paper, mail envelopes, cereal boxes, magazines, etc.  Please put cardboard boxes in the GREEN compactor.

     ALUMINUM:  Certain pet food cans are part aluminum and part steel.  Please put pet food cans in a separate plastic bag tied at the top.  Steel cans can be sorted out with a huge magnet, but the pet food cans trick the magnet.

3) big TAN compactor is for household trash - no lumber; no metal - like bed frames, rebar, etc; no mattresses; no paint-filled paint cans; no bags of pine needles, no slash (your pine needles and slash are picked up by the grabbler once a month).   THINK before you throw it in.  WILL your trash jam the compactor?

Thanks for your diligence to be a thoughtful recycling person and a mindful, neat trash user.
As you saw, the wind played havoc with the fence like it did many trees in Sun Valley.

Fort Stanton needs volunteers

Significant need exists for volunteers at the Ft. Stanton Museum, which is located at Ft. Stanton, N.M. Currently, the museum is open seven days a week, and there are two shifts available: from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The duties that volunteers perform are basic and include welcoming visitors to the museum, providing the visitors with a short history/introduction about the museum (which, of course, you would first learn about), starting up a movie, and opening and/or closing the museum.

Right now, the need is greatest for weekend and mid-week volunteers and staff will work with you to try to accommodate your preference for the days and times you wish to serve.
