text: While Pidwirny joked around that he didn’t want to reveal damaging information to the media on account of his funding, he stressed that there would be economic impacts if temperatures continued to rise and snow levels continued to drop over the years. This was revisited after the presentation during a brief question and answer period, where an audience member compared this data to the length of an average mortgage for a property on a ski resort.
  Pidwirny ended his presentation candidly, saying that changes were coming to these major ski resorts one way or another, whether it is a change to seasonal memberships or more full out closures like in 2015.
