Reply to comment by anom_k in anyone else miss the snow? it's currently 35°F and raining. by mossybishhh

I have nothing against ski hills. I love them.

But.

You live in a fantasy world. And love to cherry pick data.

Sure. Everyone skiing in Vermont are locals at Cochrans. Remind me of that after the next snow dump on the way up to Killington or Stowe while you sit between gargantuan idling SUV's for hours.

Sure, we have this amazing clean power grid.

The majority of the NE power grid comes from burning gas.

Sure, Vermont can afford publicly funded trains running people all over the state.

See The Champlain Flyer, VT population and already unsustainable tax burden.

You live in a fantasy world where you pick and choose what is bad based on what you like and want.

Facts are facts. The truth is real.

Literally addressed 0 of my arguments. My main point was that the things that cause ski resorts to be bad for the environment stem from larger problems such as fossil fuel and lack of public transport, and as such, ski resorts aren't inherently bad for the environment.

The problems with climate change cannot be solved by a few pieces of legislation on state levels as it would require a mass global effort to completely rework all infrastructure and global economic systems. And we all know that's not gonna happen.

Because of that I don't see the point of you bringing up ski resorts
