Utah is proud of its snow. The state of Utah even trademarked the phrase âThe Greatest Snow on Earthâ and put it on its license plates. But climate change is a significant threat to Utahâs famous snow and ski resorts.
As part of their work in the Climate Adaptation Science program, a group of Utah State University graduate students and faculty from the S.J. & Jessie E. Quinney College of Natural Resources examined historical temperature data from 1980-2019 and projected climate data for 2021-2100. In addition, they conducted interviews with Utah ski resort managers to better understand how climate change will impact winter recreation and how ski resorts can adapt to these changes.
When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down businesses, schools and gathering places last year, many people turned to the outdoors for an escape. But the increase in visitors to places like national parks meant social distancing became a challenge in these places too.
In order to reduce the impact of visitors on national parks, park infrastructure, like roads and visitors centers, funnel visitors to certain areas. Which meant when park visitation increased during the pandemic, so did human traffic at these concentrated spots.
âWe developed the components of the study to answer that question: can people still socially distance in a crowded national park?â said Dr. Zach Miller, who is a Utah State University professor with the Institute of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism.
