I may be wrong, but I believe Mr. Peters is referring to Anthropogenic Climate Change killing the ski season and winter in general.
oh my god ted, it's monday

Lousy Smarch weatherHOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE SEASONS WHEN YOU HAVE THAT AVATAR?!?!
indeed. no avoiding that. but higher altitude places will hang on longer.
Not when a season pass costs $10k.The ski slopes will look like the lift lines by then.
Good day monkey brethren.
Rode my bicycle fer 19 miles yesterday. Damn I love that shit! I take a hiatus and ask myself "Do I even love riding bicycles anymore?"
The answer is yes. Yes I love riding the bicycles.

Here to report that spring skiing in Steamboat is still fun. But spring seems to start earlier every year, which is... less than ideal.
We were just discussing which of the CO resorts would be on the doomed list. Steamboat was #1.

I stopped buying lift tickets all together when they became more expensive than a day of cat skiing.
Lift tickets more expensive than a day of cat skiing? Your fever must be pretty high...

when bachelor went over $100 for a day it was still $90 at Bailey cat skiing. Not sure what it is these days, I am sure its compounded using the hipster/yuppie scaleLift tickets more expensive than a day of cat skiing? Your fever must be pretty high...
Bailey cat skiing is currently $500/person. When was it $90? I'm suspicious...
quite a while ago, I am oldBailey cat skiing is currently $500/person. When was it $90? I'm suspicious...
for better or worse Ikon and Epic are both firmly entrenched here. they have to parallel each other else people who aren't tied to an area would defect.
And for context - I bought an "equivalent" pass for the '96/'97 season (called the Summit Pass) and it was $1000. The last 30-ish years has been very interesting in the NA ski market...
There is definite acceptance of the likelihood that JH (at least the upper 2000 ft) will hang on longer than almost everywhere. Tiny slice of the reasons Billionaires are parking here. It’s no joke.
And a small part of the reason no one is selling long-owned properties. If that comes to pass within, say, 25 years, property values here will possibly triple or quadruple (which is insane).
I’ll likely be gone.

Re: skiing, I just got a $35 check in the mail because PSIA used one of my vacation photos in their spring membership magazine. I didn't even submit the photo...my cousin did. I don't even know what photo it is, lol. I have now made more money this year as a photographer ($35) than some photographers do.
The biggest reason they flock to WY is the asset protection laws, LLC loopholes and estate trust anonymity, next to Florida and Arizona they are the best in the country before going over seas.
Made a gondola full of tourists from PA laugh at Keystone yesterday. We were talking about what a great day it was, and I said "...and not a Texan in sight..."
+2 points to me for making the giggles.
Well, duh, that is the large slice of that decision making process. (I used the word tiny on purpose) But there are other tax havens out there, we will still have skiing.
Want "normal" people? Monarch. NO touristos, no Denverites (No offense to anyone...) no attitude, no traffic, no bougieness, cheaper, family oriented...
(Also way less skiable terrain, but you cant have everything, where would you put it??)
I can faintly hear the voices over the ringing. Think I’ll listen to them and go wander around in the woods with weight.
Heh. Tell me you've not been to Monarch during holidays and Spring Break without telling me.
And you aren’t ‘technically’ from Denver!
I am alluding to the fact that snowfall and coverage are unlikely to continue their reduction in a linear manner as compounded by global warming. Ticket prices will not continue their linear trend.
In other news,
A pretty massive solar flare over the weekend caused some havoc for unprepared solar peeps
Sunspot region 3590 does it again! It's third X-class soalr flare and the strongest solar flare of the currently Solar Cycle thus far peaking at a respectable value of X6.3 (R3-strong).
The solar flare peaked at 22:34 UTC and the observed X-ray value comes from GOES-18 which covers for GOES-16 as it does not provide any data at the moment. The flare was rather impulsive which isn't a great sign but it is possible that some ejecta might have left the blast site. More information will be provided tomorrow!
Its been pretty interesting to see how many peeps with solar had a 15-35% sudden increase in PV energy for a short burst causing inverters, MPPT's and batteries getting over clocked. For those with everything wired correctly with breakers, shunts and fuses in the right config it was nothing but a reset for their system, for others it was a expensive day. The chatter on the forums is now focused on EMP shielding.

What about burning ejections
Nice subtle Zappa reference
also all slow lifts, no?
I like my detachable 4 and 6 packs to get laps in... when there aren't crazy lines. (lines were < 5 min at WP on Sat for the record.)
