Bleak Topic - Global Warming - What major resort will be first to throw in the towel?
Sorry for the downer topic but the rollercoaster weather through the west this winter has me thinking...
What major brand name resort will be the first to shut their doors due to climate change? When?
My thoughts:
Snoqualmie pass. Base at ~3000ft depending on which side of the freeway you’re on. Mid winter rain often kills snow quality/quantity.... How long before it rains more than it snows in January? Do we get 15 more years of the padded seats?
Big Bear / Snow Summit. Base at ~7000’. They run off 100% snowmaking for the first half of the season every year. They get their the water from Big Bear Lake. If there is a long enough drought and I can imagine the state wouldn’t let them suck that lake dry.... with the last drought being 2016, they are kinda due for one soon....
