What will the ski industry look like in 50 years? Study paints bleak forecast for Western snowpacks

The paper also details past winters to provide an overview of current snowpack trends.

“One important takeaway from this is maybe not all of these studies agree on when the low-to-no-snow future is going to happen, but all of them agree that it’s likely and that it’s really not that far into the future,” said McKenzie Stiles, assistant professor at the University of Utah’s Geology Department...

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
