Reporter fired for questioning Vail's snow total ethics

Some of you might remember a story about a Dartmouth College study on how snow totals reported by ski areas don't always jive with snowfall totals reported at nearby weather stations.

Of course the ski areas defended their accuracy and denied stretching the truth, err, snow.
Still, it was something many people think probably happens -- at least to some extent -- at most resorts.

So, I found it interesting to find this article about a reporter in Colorado that was fired for what he claims was writing a column calling a major resort -- Vail -- on the carpet for what he perceived as misleading claims about snow.
