Downhill ski enthusiasts, rejoice. Your favorite pastime will live on even after global warming evaporates all the earth’s ancient glaciers and sucks forming flakes from the sky.

Of course, you could rock ski right this minute; there’s gotta be a dry, craggy gulch somewhere in your area. Just make sure you don’t use your new winter sticks. And wear a helmet and whatever other body protection you can dig up in the attic. And, if you make it down in one piece, remember to check for ticks.

Extreme skiing just got significantly more extreme.
