No one disagrees about the historic warmth (well except the deniers who cant handle their snow being taken away). But the ski area discussion hold pertinent to our subforum for the same reasons you just stated. Not to mention that its noteworthy considering their last few seasons and the struggles they have had. Tie that into many people not understanding where our subforum actually encompasses and having been implied or flat out told my obs dont matter, it becomes a bigger narrative and issue.
