Don't eat the yellow snow....

"...climate change is straining operations at many resorts..."

Any writer who attributes anything to 'climate change' is a moron and you don't need to read any further

Yellow if you are LUCKY

"Local Native American groups consider the mountain sacred and unsuccessfully fought in court to halt what they consider a desecration."

If it's yellow,
It's mellow.

If it's brown,
Don't fall down.

Whatever you do, don’t believe what you see happening...

[blueunicorn6]

This is true. The Indians never went to the bathroom outdoors. They always waited until they got home and then they used the downstairs bathroom.

I must be getting old, I remember when it was weather that was a problem for ski resorts, not “climate change”>

[knife6375]

Is this what mean when they say brown sludge?

[illiac]

I can remember when they used brown sludge to fertilize baseball fields when I was young....no one wanted to play on those ball fields.....

>>Is this what mean when they say brown sludge?

No. Sludge is what you get after extracting most of the water from sewage. The water they are using for snow (and to irrigate most commercial properties and golf courses in my part of the country) is the water that is extracted and then treated. We used to dump that water into the river, but environmentalists said that it harmed the rivers, so we started putting it on grass. Now they say that it harms grass. People need to just stop peeing and pooping.

I wonder what environmentalists do when they #2?? Do they store it in a bag in the kitchen? Do they eat it? Do they carefully separate it from the toilet paper and dry the TP for reuse?

Or do they just flush like the rest of us? Hypocrites!

Killington ski area in Vermont, proposed using treated sewage water for snow making in the 90s. It was criticized in the local press with the tagline: “Where the affluent meet the effluent”

[illiac]

LOL!

[edpc]

Makes you wonder how they created the moguls.

"I wonder what environmentalists do when they #2??"

I thought it was Tofu.

[familyop]

Here. More like thin sheets of man-made ice than snow on those runs. The drought forecast looks like last year all over again, only better.

Have fun. Enjoy the slide.






Shouldn't have robbed that old rancher of all of his cattle and other possessions under pretense of animal worship.

“climate change is straining operations at many resorts.”

New Headline:

MSN Money turns sewage into science.

[Mr. K]

um...huh?

I had another foot of glo-bull warming to shovel out of my driveway this morning,... what are you seeing?

[stuartcr]

extremes where there didn’t used to be...unusually cold in one place usually means unusually hot in others.

Thee town wanted to secede from VT and join NH as well because of tax issues.

Didn't happen though
