This morning I read with horror that the snowpack at Park City might be gone by the end of the century. Here's the link. Though the article is in the NY Times, the author is an editor at Powder magazine. I isn't at all farfetched that many ski areas will be closed by then, and probably most in the east will be gone. But Park City?? No specific source is cited, just a lot of stats about western drought, continually declining snowpack, melting glaciers, etc.

Has anybody heard anything specifically about the long term prospects for the Wasatch? It's little comfort to me that by then I'll be long dead.

I heard this years ago when I was still a newbie to the Park City area.
We are in a desert and climate change is already shaking things up here when you look at the big swings from year to year in snowfall. Should not come as a surprise that the ski areas on the Wasatch Back will be without snow.
However, today? Epic conditions...
