"Solar power meets ski slope at Montana's Discovery Ski Area. Striving to be environmentally responsible and cut a growing monthly bill, President Ciche Pitcher is installing a 50-kilowatt solar array -- a job set to offset 70% of one of the ski lift's power usage and save an annual estimate of $11,000. Regarded as the biggest, most complex installation that the solar company had taken on, the project ran into construction hold-ups, costly installations, and a painstaking process of acquiring the appropriate permits. However, Pitcher mentions, "We're not naive enough to think that if we have a solar array that we're not now going to have climate change at Discovery. But in the sense that we want to be responsible for reducing our fossil fuel usage at Discovery, yeah, 100% it was a driver." Get ready for a sustainable ride to the top!"
