James P. Van Dyke, Jim, serves as Vice President of Environmental Sustainability of Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, in Hancock Massachusetts and has been with the company for 33 years. Beginning his career as a lift operator on a snowy Thanksgiving morning in 1974, he has successfully undertaken project after project and become an integral part of Jiminy Peak's senior management team.

Van Dyke's most recent project was also Jiminy Peak's most ambitious, the purchase and installation of the only 1.5 Megawatt wind turbine at a mountain resort in North America, possibly the world. The turbine began producing power on August 1, 2007 and was commissioned on August 15th, 2007. Jiminy Peak is an example of private enterprise investing in wind power generation to keep energy costs down, and help to preserve our natural resources.
