JH closed today - no power in the village??

Whether this was a product of climate change or not, who knows, who cares. It was an anomaly, anomalies happen. But to use the geological record as an evidence against climate change is wrong. In the last 800,000 years it hasn't been this high. Humans did not live 800,000 years ago. The earth doesn't care what we do, we aren't destroying the earth. We are destroying where we can live, and eventually, the climate will be unable to sustain our population. The earth will shake us off, and over millions of years normalize. But for the sake of self preservation, lets see where all this pesky CO2 comes from.

OCTANE:
C18H18 + (O2+3.76N2) = CO2 + H2O + N2

CETANE:
2 C16H34 + 49 O2 = 32 CO2 + 34 H2O

METHANE:
CH4 + O2 = CO2 + H20

It's fairly simple stoichiometry that shows how in the last 200 or so years CO2 levels have risen. Generally, in our past, higher CO2 levels mean higher average temp. (Dinosaurs in eastern Montana, giant bugs, a lot of ferns) It's not rocket science to see where this is going, shit its not even rock science. I generally don't like to argue about this because it only adds validation that there are two sides, but come the fuck on. Climate change deniers should be in the same boat as the flat earthers, ridiculed for stupidity. And though you may do really cool stuff on a pair of skis, your critical thinking skills and gullibility should be mocked.

^^^Agree. Thank you.
Back on topic we just canceled our flight and hotel reservations for tomorrow and are probably rebooking for March, everybody was good about rebooking.

You lost me with the dinosaur thing. What was your point again? Are you saying that we know the temperatures from a zillion years ago?

w/e of March 4-5 is Jackson summit if you can factor that in

[plugboots]

^^^It definitely does, but so does soccer games...etc.

[babybear]

sounds good. I know we are not top priority but just wanted to throw it out there

[passholer]

this place got cunted up quick

[Supermoon]

You have to remember that every nuance of the weather is irrefutable proof of impending climate apocalypse to a sensitive snowflake. No matter they have had over 400" so far this winter, they have perfect memories of "how it used to be" and what "normal" is. They know more from their couple decades of worldly existence than all the evidence of climate change contained in the geologic record ya know....

The weather is supposed to do what they want it to do now! Or else some high and mighty priest from the holy church of global warming saints must do something now! Mainly empty virtue signaling. That seems to placate them until the next balls deep pow day, which in Jackson Hole I would say will be Tuesday. Enjoy it, you could be up here with WMD and I "living the dream" at Bridger with less than 130" so far for the season!

How someone can be a skier, yet still deny the existence of climate change is a testament to how far one can shove their head up their own ass.

Hope everyone in JH is doing ok. Crazy storm for sure. The pictures of the towers are unreal.

i heard the ski area was going to stay open an extra week because of this.

did/doing same. Although hotel was down (obviously) and the 800 # didn't have any info - I was the bearer of bad news based on the pictures I saw early Wed AM for them.

[Timberridge]

I can see the Alpenrose breakfast buffet being a bit sparse over the next few days if the walk in is down.

It could dampen lunchtime plans for anyone planning to have schinkenwurst and souse sandwiches on the hill.

There's a tool I haven't heard mention of in a long while. Is it really that hard to enable remote desktop access for Windows/Mac machines these days, or get sshd running on Linux? Apparently so

Ha Ha, they probably don't want the storm we're in now.

They probably don't want the post-BBI sickness that's making the rounds, either

In other news, TGR is streaming "The Big One" until the resort reopens, so that's nice:

What good will that do? Those tourists aren't coming back in April.

Maybe for season pass holders? I wonder what's in the fine print for situations like this.

[Benny Profane]

Well, have fun in the mud, locals.

I'm pretty sure the permit w/ the USFS limits them to a certain number of operating days a season. Days when they're closed and no public is on the hill don't count as operating days so they can adjust the schedule as they see fit.

[ColMan]

Down to 5 degrees on Saturday night. Guessing there will be a lot of frozen pipes.

[yahs]

Weird the webcams at JH aren't working. Anyone else have this problem?

[babybear]

They have no power to run the webcams

[babybear]

The alpenhof tram cam is also frozen from the other evening. Looks like it was windy [emoji12]

Jesus, the shear weight of that snow!

Hopefully they didn't charge the water pipes at the Spur...

[Tye 1on]

The irony, this afternoon was their grand reopening party.

[plugboots]

What in the fuck, bunny?

I've been to 3 closing weekends that I remember, and 2 were cold powder days with pissed passholders.

true. its the only time i want to see the sun
