So Who is Behind Powder Mountain?

No, it isn't.

You keep saying this, which makes it obvious you don't really know what the actual "climate science" you mention, actually says.

It's weird actually, almost like you fetish on the worst draconian outcome even though the science doesn't suggest this. FWIW, they've been generally "wrong" to the downside for decades now as most predictions have not been as bad as they said, but forgetting that point entirely, let's suggest "the climate science is correct" as you postulate, well, then it mean North American degrees Fahrenheit is about 4 degrees or so warmer 75 to 100 years from now, we will still have snow skiing literally every single place in North America where is currently exists.

The f you do. It won’t be sustainable to have a profitable ski product at that point. Most areas will fold and that product where it is still sustainable will be based on a very limited and extremely expensive product.

That’s just being real.

How many awesome winters have you guys had out east during the last ten? How’s that drought looking right now for snowmaking?

Well at least you guys don’t get forest fires out east….oh wait, now ya do.

We have had quite a stretch of wet the last three weeks or so. We're we in a drought, yes. Was it a years long or even a year long drought?? Nope, like 4 months. By eastern standards it was super dry through that period but by western standards, it wouldn't have even touched on a drought.

Some eastern resorts may have been snowmaking water limited going into the start of October, but the number now limited has dropped substantially.
