I ran into Mike Parziale last night at an epic Nike party in the ultra coolster capital of Portland Oregon. Mike is responsible for Grease Not Gas, a project that has fuel action sports missions across the country and back. You can read more about Mike in Jesse’s Huffman’s article about alternative fuels in the January 2009 issue of Transworld Snowboarding.

Mike’s newest project is a winter shuttle from Portland, Oregon to Mt. Hood Meadow’s Ski Area. It’s called the Grease Bus because the shuttle is fueled by vegetable oil instead of gas.

The shuttle is just $10 for a round-trip ticket. For more details go to the Grease Bus website
