Rocky Mountains show the biggest gains-everywhere else is flat at best-I do a trip out there every year-breck, vail, keystone-incredible but very expensive with housing, pass food transportation but I enjoy it.

Last 3 years are 2nd 1 st  5th in visits. The numbers don't lie. Number of ski areas open is consistent . 24/25 continues top 5 per reports

Is that true nationally or locally in New England?    I've always heard numbers have slowly declined over the years...

Despite advancements like snowmaking technology and efforts to adapt to unpredictable weather conditions, the ski industry is experiencing a gradual decrease in visitors since 2004, leading to the closure of over 45 ski resorts in the past two decades.

No way

Cost is somewhat prohibitive however.    I know some folks (more casual skiers who tend to rent and not buy season passes) who have said they either gave it up or just go once or twice now.

Ski business is just fine. Another record year of turnout.

I think it will be nuisance for us if anything, but hopefully I'm wrong. If we are going to be in a garbage spring pattern, then it might as well snow.

Friday is interesting with  bombing LP Cape Cod bay

1.89 rain. Looks like we haven’t seen the last snow

He was right about snowpack...the ski resorts have had it, which combined with consistent if not impressive cold, has made for a respectable ski season.

People who ski know.

..100% correct!!...many people have left the snow plowing business because of the lack of revenue the past several winters.

 Love you long time even if we disagree on a lot of shit. I feel like my hickory may make a leap this year. 

Yes I love we can disagree. Good news on the Hickory. We lost a 120 footer which soon will be at the saw mill. I am gong to make a shed.

You’re such a nice guy to debate with. Next beer is on me.

I mean we are and have been the greatest country the world has seen.  The world depends on us. Are we perfect hell no but  I will never back down to any lunatic who thinks otherwise. Sorry but your continued disparaging of our country is old

Is that when America was great? I’m still struggling to find out exactly what period of time we were that great for everyone to which we are rolling back policies for.

I have personally witnessed biased, dishonest research and researchers influencing and/or altering results in both private sector and public settings at the the state and federal level so my perspective takes that heavily into consideration.  

At one time it was fervently believed that:  the sun revolved around the earth, the earth was flat, bloodletting cured illness, lobotomies cured psychological disorders, eggs are bad for you, no, eggs are good for you, no eggs raise cholesterol, no, eggs have no effect on cholesterol, etc, etc, etc, the earth is entering another ice age, no the earth is warming, etc, etc, etc.

Presumably state-of-the-art science and research to some extent has been behind each one of those beliefs or understandings.  Today, us humans believe we're at the very pinnacle of our understanding of ourselves and our world, more knowledge than any civilization ever.  Current science and research is state-of-the-art.  Just like it has been throughout time immemorial.  

Are our tools, methods, devices, understanding more precise than years past?  We sure think so.  Can that change in the future?  If the past is any guide, absolutely.  

I see "science" as something very specific - a simple following of the scientific method.  A hard-line approach ensuring zero bias, reliable, concise data, etc.  When those essential components of science are toyed with, it ruins the "science".  Changing definitions, ignoring facts, inserting bias, altering data - these are all things that have become very evident to be occurring.  Even as we're at the pinnacle of our understanding.  

So I concur, it is difficult to faithfully accept all science these days.  Maybe it has always been that way...?

Nailed it. This exposed 20 billion dollar boon doggle only strengthens your points. It's hard to believe things when grifters are manipulating

The human pop has gone from 2B to 8B in your lifetime. Even if we’re learning from our mistakes we’re becoming more of a strain on this planet. 

Buf it would be nice if we could debate issues on a case by case basis without them immediately getting split across political party lines. 

This song will probably resonate with every generation. 

 

The reason its politics is because of the grift not the science. 20 billion reasons why uncovered this week.

If AC were to get prohibitively expensive you'd see real action on climate.  Until then it's easily dealt with.  Who's gonna give up their flight to Europe when they can just install a week earlier?

It's all relative isn't it.

I am so proud of how far our country has come environmentally since I was a kid yet there is much to be done. The youth here haven't experienced the weeks of smog, the stench of polluted rivers, the color of streams being whatever die was being used. We have a lot to be proud of in innovation as well.  Americans lead the world in environment solution innovation.  Much to done but the sky ain't falling chicken

Next winter when sne gets AN snow with a couple big events, that will be our proof to all of you GW elitist humpers that it’s a hoax. 
 

And if you stop eating eggs, you’ll gain girth between your legs. Oh, and prices will come down as well. A win-win.

My eggs are very cheap, some feed some water, 2 to 3 dozen a week.

I see the problem as OUR earth is warming to the point of irrefutable atmospheric change that is now altering global processes and harming ecosystems with no cohesive plan to stop...  while we argue about politics. 

The sky is not falling chicken little.  We adapt as humans have.  The earth doesn't give a rats ass about us the pimple.

Huh? Hey this makes for good theater.  When winter ends and spring begins sucks so bad.  It is nice trolling hard enough to make Forky stick his head out.

Good news is that Greta has a hot summer for us this year. Can't wait.

You said that last year. Ended up normal

LOL the oceans are  massive heat engines now. One ASOS is not going to sway the science of being 1.5F too warm. We all know the crazy world is ending stuff is ridiculous, but everything points to warm. Do we think all this shit we're spewing into the atmosphere isn't having an effect? 

Yea those 400 parts per million are a killer. Earth is warming due to warmer overnights.  The obvious reason is more water vapor. We are a pimple on the Earth.
