Skiing's Future

As much as some might want to deny, it's happening. Seems faster and faster. I put this little graphic together (yeah I'm a bit of a data nerd) showing how many 50+ degree days by decade during Dec, Jan and Feb in my home city of ROC. At least the ski mountains have invested millions in snow making and can make in bursts of opportunity. My buddies that have sleds just sit on the sideline more and more every year.

I could see myself doing a southern winter mtb trip in a few years. Florida actually has a bunch of interesting trail systems. Miami looks fun to me.

Noooooooooo!
Don't do it. You were not meant to live your life in the meanless pursuit of comfort. The love of comfort is the gateway to moral decadence. The ancient philosophers from Herodotus until scientists in the time of Montesquieu have know that civilization flourishes only in the harsh climate of northern latitudes. The north challenges us and makes us strong,The tropics are the land of corruption that seduces only the weakest among us. Do not succumb to the superficial pleasures of easy living, and tall drinks with little ubrellas all served by young tanned slender Brazilian chicas who have overstayed student visas. You are better than that.
@jasonwx come back before it's too late.

This is inspiring, are you serious?
 
Hahaha
Don’t worry guys. I’m not a florida lover. I’m a big fan of sunny weather and great bass fishing.
Also eastern skiing has been an exercise in frustration and disappointment.
