Fear not, winter and snow is not going to disappear anytime soon, even by the worst doomsday scenarios. So, no need to discuss changing climate.

Just asking what would you do if outdoor snow skiing and temps that facilitate making snow suddenly went away without much warning at all?

Would you keep skiing and pay premiums to ski the indoor ski hills that would definitely be popping up all over the country?

Would you instead pursue other outdoor activities like biking and hiking, golf, etc to keep your activities closer to nature?

Would you just stay home more?

i would adapt and hope that the outdoor synthetic ski areas improve so that I can simulate the experience as best as possible. I would perhaps try to explore or do more of other outdoor activities but I'll never stop skiing so I'll do it any way I can.

I live in the vast San Francisco Bay Area where there are endless possible things to do in this era. Far different than those that live in snowy mountain regions during winters. Despite living all my adult life here, there is a long list of well known tourist things I've never done. We human's live in an age with incredible possibilities that would make even royalty of ages past envious. Yet most barely appreciate such because our lens is the status quo and other people living in this same time.
