2008 : CU Professors Warned That The Colorado Ski Industry Is Doomed

DENVER — A study of two Rocky Mountain ski resorts says climate change will mean shorter seasons and less snow on lower slopes.

The study by two Colorado researchers says Aspen Mountain in Colorado and Park City in Utah will see dramatic changes even with a reduction in carbon emissions, which fuel climate change.

If carbon emissions increase, the average temperature at Park City will be 10.4 degrees warmer by 2100, and there likely will be no snowpack, according to the study. Skiing at Aspen, with an average temperature 8.6 degrees higher than now, will be marginal.

    If the current trend continues there will be year round skiing in North America within a few years.

    I DON’T BELIEVE IN IF ANYMORE
    (Roger Whittaker)

    Roger Whittaker

    Now if you load your rifle right
    And if you fix your bayonet so
    And if you kill that man, my friend,
    The one we call the foe,
    And if you do it often, lad,
    And if you do it right
    You’ll be a hero overnight
    You’ll save your country from her plight
    Remember God is always right
    If you survive to see the sight
    A friend now greeting foe…

    No you won’t believe in If anymore
    If’s an illusion
    If’s an illusion
    No you won’t believe in If anymore
    If is for children
    If is for children
    Building daydreams

    If I knew then what I know now
    (I thought I did you know somehow)
    If I could have the time again
    I’d take the sunshine leave the rain
    If only time would trickle slow
    Like rain that melts the fallen snow
    If only Lord if only
    If only Lord if only

    Oh I don’t believe in If anymore
    If’s an illusion
    If’s an illusion
    No I don’t believe in If anymore
    If is for children
    If is for children
    Building daydreams

    No I don’t believe in If anymore
    If’s an illusion
    If’s an illusion
    No I don’t believe in If anymore
    If is for children
    If is for children
    Building daydreams
