Any discussion of the ski market that doesn't discuss climate change is missing out on major factors.
Why are no new resorts built to meet rising demand? Because any new resort is likely to be unskiable before it pays itself off. (Esp given all the best locations are already taken).
Why are mulit-resort ski passes of more interest now? Because it reduces the risk of buying a pass for a resort that has a crap snow year. (Also other factors like cheaper travel, ofc)
