I heard on the local news yesterday how ski areas are struggling this year. What with the lack of snow they area making it themselves but this in turn drives up the cost which also drives away more skiers. Seems like a loose, loose situation for the ski areas.
This is why it is so frustrating to here I hate winter. Winter haters don’t realize what an economy breaker a winter like this can be. From lodging to eating it all trickles down.
And now I’m hearing over $4.00 a gallon for gas is possible by spring and possibly $5.00 a gallon by the end of this year. And that’s regular gas.
