I listened to an interesting podcast on KUNC 90.7 radio “In The NOCO.” It summarized a 3-part article in the Denver Post about what the various Ski Corporations are doing regarding climate change. Those of us in Summit County and the front range have certainly experienced a very warm and dry winter this year. Is this year a fluke like some prior warm winters we have had, or is it a harbinger of shorter, warmer winters to come?

After reading the article and listening to the podcast I am dismayed that all ski corporations are not being more proactive regarding climate change. Sure sustainability, recycling, and choosing green energy sources to provide electricity are important, but these alone won’t have a significant impact on what we will be facing with climate change over the next 30 to 50 years.

The link below will take you to the Denver Post article. I encourage FOLBR members to read it. Please note, I was able to read the 3rd installment of the article, but the first 2 installments required me to pay for a subscription.
