[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But people keep insisting climate change isn’t real. Despite the avalanche of evidence. Pun intended.

All I know is we never had avalanches like this 20 years ago. [/quote]

Absolutely not true. You're obviously not someone that skis out west much less does helicopter back country skiing.

Grew up skiing out west. Know people killed in their car from an avalanche 20+ years ago. Daily avalanche control is a thing that's been done for decades. Choosing not to ski during HIGH avalanche warnings is also a thing. [/quote]

Avalanches were basically unheard of until the early 2000’s.  And when I say unheard of, I literally mean “no one had ever seen one, ever”. Now they’re commonplace.

Nope, you're wrong. I grew up in Washington State in the 90s. We talked about avalanche danger regularly (we skied, my dad climbed Rainier and other local to Washington mountains) and there were warnings then.

Not only do I remember talking about them, there was a Lake Tahoe Avalanche that killed 7 people in 1982. Which has been in the news this week because it was close to where this weeks Lake Tahoe avalanche was.[/quote]

I grew up literally in the shadow of Mt Hood in the 70’s-80’s. We had never heard of an avalanche until about 2004. We didn’t even know what the word meant. This is climate change. [/quote]

You didn’t know what the word avalanche meant until 2004? You must be super dumb and the schools you went to failed you. [/quote]

I guess that PP must have been super confused about the 1978 movie "Avalanche" with Rock Hudson. Their tiny little hamlet, cut off from the rest of the US, didn't know about this word until 2004 for some reason.[/quote]

The point is that there were never avalanches before the 2000’s, and they’re happening all the time now because of climate change.

Are you dense, or just a maga climate denier? Which is it? [/quote]

NP. Neither MAGA nor a climate denier but old enough to know there were avalanches pre 2000s.[/quote]

Don't you have a LFL you need to vandalize?[/quote]

What else do you think is brand new since 2000? Were you born in 1999 and think nothing happened before then?[/quote]

I know what’s different!

Rich moms who take the newly opened backcountry Tahoe ski route trip with costly paid guides, the weekdays after Ski Week.

Read the SF chronical for real info. Not DCUM.[/quote]
