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.

Governor Brad Little took a moment to answer some local questions while he was in town for That Famous Preston Night Rodeo on July 29.
He was presented with questions about the new rise in Covid cases, the drought and representation of rural counties.
Gov. Little was adamant that the state of Idaho would not shut down for COVID again. He based that premise on the fact that the medical community better knows how to handle the virus now than at the beginning of the pandemic, and the fact that hospitals are better prepared with personal protection equipment.
