Talk:Ski resort

message: Someone replaced the "inherently dangerous" statement with a statement that skiing is less dangerous than sports like golf.   I haven't looked at the source, but isn't this a little silly?  Perhaps we could just simplify the statement to say that skiing injuries can occur, so ski areas have first aid facilities.  Or we could say something more balanced about the risk.  But this is not the "skiing" entry, it's the "ski resorts" entry.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ssilvers (talk • contribs) . 17:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm contemplating starting an article for references I've gathered on skiing and snowboarding accident rates, which would be the best way to simplify this article and address the issue in skiing and snowboarding—neither of which mention it.  While many people think skiing is dangerous, most tend to be nonparticipants, or novices.  Those who think skiing is more dangerous than golf, either haven't been around enough golfers, or hang with a dangerous ski crowd....  —EncMstr 21:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an article on Ski Resorts, not Skiing.  Skiing is just a small portion of what a Ski Resort is.  Any information written regarding Ski Injuries should be on the Skiing page, same with Snowboarding injuries, Sledding injuries, walking on ice injuries, they should all be in their own respective pages.  Including that most Ski Resorts have first aid stations would be fine in the article but I don't see the significance in talking about Ski injuries at all?  I'm going to remove that line and reference, if anyone else feels differently please revert my change and lets discuss it further in the talk page, I'd like to hear others opinions on the matter.

thread_title: Notes

message: How about some history of ski resorts, worldwide, of course.  I was just looking for details on the introduction of skiing in the US during the 30s as a CCC project in the 30s, as an example.  As a kid in the 60s, skiing was something done by the rich in the east, and then in the 80s was something done in the west by yuppies flying to the west, or occasionally to the Alps.  Now you can ski in the Persian Gulf.  Mulp (talk) 18:21, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  history needed 

message: In the article Resort it defines as "In North American English, the term "resort" is now also used for a self-contained commercial establishment which attempts to provide for most of a vacationer's wants while remaining on the premises, such as food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment, and shopping."
Should the term Ski Resort be used for the many ski areas that do not have lodging for guests?
If you search Wikipedia for "Ski area" it redirects to "Ski resort".
Perhaps there should be a separate article for "Ski area", for those which have no lodging, etc. for users of the area.

thread_title:  Use and meaning of title "Ski Resort" 

message: The template was put in but no discussion thread opened, so i do that now here:
*Oppose. While I have no real opinion on this article, but apres-ski certainly deserves articles of its own. The current entry is admittingly not much but there is literature and ideally in the future the article will cover the (global) history and development of the word and term throughout the last 100 years or so. There might be some overlap with "ski resort" but imho not enough to require a dingle entry rather than two.--Kmhkmh (talk) 16:11, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: , fair enough, thanks for the input. Just for context, I'm trying to rationalise the sprawling and sometimes overlapping set of articles that relate to skiing (and related activities like apres ski) right now. I've made an outline of them here: Talk:Skiing#Structure_needed_and_redundancy_needs_pruning --Cornellier (talk) 18:15, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Merging

message: I propose merging Environmental impact of ski resorts into this article. Mmyers1976 (talk) 18:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Merger done per WP:SILENCE. Ended up being a straight redirect as almost all the assertions of environmental impact were WP:OR and WP:SYN without adequate citations and verification, and article read like an essay rather than an encyclopedia article.
