Permanent day light savings time???

[tmokes]

That’s gonna affect avy control and first chair right? Would the resort start opening at 10??

They should keep the standard time instead. People are more likely to do stuff early in the morning during the summertime when it’s cooler outside rather than in afternoon when it’s hot. Am I wrong?

Yes, you're wrong.

Utah resorts wrote a letter to the Utah government against it this year.

[MagnificentUnicorn]

Yes, you're wrong.

Is he?

Curiously, I like to ride at dusk in the summer when it cools down a little.

7 p.m. local rides really do a lot for the psyche. Can't say that for a 8 a.m. have to get back, shower, and grind it out.

Me too.

Is it ground hogs day?

I like standard time because it allows me to ski before work most of the winter, it would be harder to do if the sunrise was an hour later. And then I like daylight savings time because I can sleep in a little longer and enjoy the daylight after work.

So I say leave it as it is....

Biased because I'm completely useless until 10am no matter what, but getting out of work, jumping on the bike, drinking a beer at the top with friends, and hauling ass down empty trails at dusk is the way to be. Fuck morning rides.

My goal most nights in the local trail area (Cache Creek) is to be the goddamn last one riding before it’s too dark to ride anymore. (Without lights)
No people= Maximum haul-assage.
Except for the Moose and bears, of course.

This is the way

We should ride, compadre!

This is going to screw with mtn ops everywhere.

& forget early access!

Losing standard time only really hurts early morning stuff in the 6 weeks around the winter equinox here, but significantly improves the afternoons and evenings for March-August. Seems like a win for anyone who isn't reliant on those few extra minutes of light in the AM during the dead of winter. I've been saying for years that ski areas should begin the season with a later start time (10am for instance) and change to an earlier start time after the New Year. This seems like this might be the push necessary to make that happen.

Awesome for people in MA / ME / VT / NH where it gets dark out at like 4:15 in the dead of winter. And totally agree with everyone saying late day activities are where it's at. Running around the golf course during sunset to get a couple more holes in at 9:00 mid summer is the best.

Wachusett might not be able to open at 7:30 every Saturday and Sunday anymore - good, that's so early. Or they'll keep opening that early and just have people ski under the lights early AM. I think they're usually on anyway, I know I never skin with a headlamp, and it could be cool to ski lift served laps during sunrise.

For resorts not on the very western part of the time zones I doubt this will have much impact. Solitude has been opening at 8AM on Holidays and weekends all season and 7:30 once a month. Only a few lifts lower mountain and avy control doesn't happen any earlier as far as I know, but the light is really cool. If we're always in DST I'd imagine this early opening might stop mid winter, but skiing can still start at 9 no problem. Avy terrain openings will probably be an hour later, but, that's great IMO - let even more of the masses leave before it opens.

post-work sunset MTB rides in the summer are awesome.

gunna suck in the winter when the sun doesn't rise until like 8:30am; but then again, if it doesn't set til 5:30 maybe post-work skin laps become a more regular occurance...

either way I think Big Golf definitely lobbied for this legislation to pass

[toast2266]

In Montana, we'd have a couple weeks with sunrise around 9:30 a.m. That'd be kinda rough. But it'd be nice to push sunset out to 5:45ish.

It's actually the opposite.....this will have more of an impact on ski areas NOT on the eastern part of the time zones. There will be weeks in the winter where the sun doesn't rise until 8:30am here. This shows how the eastern portions of time zones have more 'reasonable" sunrise times (defined by 7am in this case) than the western portions, under DST.

When I lived in Tucson I did outdoor stuff at 5am in the summer. Late night news was at 10PM I think, people went to bed early, woke up early. It depends where you live. My wife likes to get her summer gardening done early here in Truckee.

we should form a club.

I wouldn't be stoked during the months where I have to get my kids up and out to school when it's dark out.

[Danno]

I have to get my kid up super fucking early regardless, and even earlier for ski racing. It's 6:15am on a normal school day and 5:30am on weekend race training days. In December/January, it's dark. It doesn't make any difference in the whole endeavor to me.
