Snowboarding should be fun, especially when you're riding at Colorado's newest ski resort. Elks Run is located in beautiful Summit County. With its aspens, colorful wildflowers, and very tall mountains, it takes your breath away, or, if you aren't careful, your life. Dangerous Slopes is a story that underlines a conflict when society chooses pride and greed are chosen over safety and honesty. The result will most likely be a physical, financial, and psychological loss. Michael Doyle works as a computer consultant and part-time ski/snowboard instructor at Elks Run ski resort. He is struggling with being newly divorced. While women are easy to meet at the resort, he has a dilemma. He still has feelings for his ex-wife. Mike and Stanley, his trusted basset hound, unravel an unfortunate accident-or was it sabotage by environmentalists as the FBI suspects-on the resort's newest gondola lift. His friends are helpful, but he is on his own. He readily admits that he isn't Sherlock Holmes; however, with a little luck, anything is possible.

Communication of design risk within a transparent and rational framework is necessary in view of the increasing interest in code harmonization, public involvement in defining acceptable risk levels, and risk-sharing among client, consultant, insurer, and financier. Activities in code harmonization are particularly noteworthy. For the geotechnical engineering profession, there is added pressure for it to undergo a significant revamp because structural and geotechnical design are increasingly incompatible. The contributions in this volume tackle the important issues relating to new generation geotechnical design codes, in a bid to move geotechnical engineers forward together with the significant changes occurring at the global level.
