Olympic Stars Speak Out on Global Warming

Picabo Street
"There is nothing like the thrill of skiing down a chilly mountainside in winter,
and I live for making fresh tracks on powder days. Help us 'Keep
Winter Cool' by doing your part in fighting global warming."
-Picabo Street is one of America's most famous alpine ski racers. In
1998 she won an Olympic gold medal in Nagano. She's the only American
- man or woman - to win a season-long World Cup downhill title,
winning in 1995 and '96.

Ross Powers
" I love snow and winter and I want to protect the powder. We all need to do what we can to fight global warming. We owe it to ourselves and, of course, to nature."
-Ross "The Boss" Powers fell in love with snowboarding as a youngster in Vermont. After picking up an Olympic bronze medal in 1998 in snowboard halfpipe's Olympic debut in Nagano, he led a 1-2-3 USA sweep of the men's halfpipe in Salt Lake City with what many consider to be one of the best runs ever in the sport!-
