Caption: A general view of Winter Olympic bobsleigh track in Cesana near Turin, Italy, Thursday, Nov. 17, 2005. The 1,400-meter bobsleigh track, which required hundreds of trees to be cut down. Ski resorts in general are unpopular with environmentalists. Every spring, the snowy slopes turn into barren strips of earth and gravel. Global warming is now forcing skiers to move higher up the mountains in search of snow, damaging untouched habitats.
