U.S. ski resorts are increasingly seeking solutions to freshen up the brown slopes spanning the American West this winter, even as the East Coast grapples with back-to-back storms. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/02/02/climate-change/ski-resorts-drones-snow-drought/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #us #skiing #drones #snow #drought #climatechange
Tourism is booming in Hakuba. So are concerns over housing, prices and daily life.

The deaths of Italian Alpine skiers Matteo Franzoso and Matilde Lorenzi in the space of less than a year forced the sport to take a long, hard look at its safety procedures in the run-up to the 2026 Winter Olympics. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2026/01/27/olympics-alpine-skiing-safety/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #olympics #skiing #safety #2026milanocortinaolympics

Some good things have come from Davos …
“It was here that Robert Louis Stevenson overcame his writer’s block and finished Treasure Island; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle started skiing in the Alps; and Thomas Mann thought of the idea for The Magic Mountain”

Hello internet, I've been lurking for a while but let's try an #introduction.
I'm a recovering tumblr girlie (does fandom exist on mastodon? for better or worse?) who likes #reading, #knitting, and cross-country #skiing as soon as there's enough snow here the #PNW.
I believe in tech that helps build a more liberatory future and want to know what abolitionist, anit-authoritarian #datascience might look like.

Cool, I just remembered to mark my calendar for the third Sunday of January, February, and March: It's the Plumas Ski Club's Historic Longboard Race Revival Series!

And a couple more landscapes while skiing. It really is scenic up there. #LandsscapePhotography #skiing
Oh, actual pictures of people on skis. Our route was up the Mangatoetoenui Glacier, reaching the Tukino summit, and then back down the same way. #skiing
Next: on a ski trip this past November to Tukino we just had great weather. Should've put on more sunblock, oops. Also I don't know exactly the setting to get good focus on stars, though I figured it out once at Aoraki. #landscapePhotography #skiing
Like ice in the sun.
