Not looking forward to this. Spring Forward is fast approaching. The time which I lose an hour of prime spring skiing. It can’t be.
 
idk i think going forward in the spring is great, it stays light longer in the evening, and its how our time should always be.

how is that taking away an hour of prime skiing? it actually lighter, for longer so Idk how you're coming to that conclusion.

Getting warmer later in the day and places still close at 4

but how does that take an hour away of skiing from you? Id argue you'd get more spring skiing because it's warmer earlier in the day.

[tag=278823]@SmokedGouda[/tag] why would you downvote me and not respond?

Idk. Why so desperate for a response. If it gets to 45 degrees at 10 before time change, now after the time change it gets to 45 at 11 and my resorts still close at 4. Your comment was a proposition towards opposite day.

imagine me caring if anyone downvotes my post

im over this passive downvote shit thats been created by modern social media and rating/liking/voting/etc that reddit created too. just say something, this isn't specifically even at you, like if someone disagrees with something they should converse about it vs just downvoting, its lazy and unproductive.

like that dude could've just said 'actually you have it backwards' and instead he just downvoted, it's not a contribution to the conversation, its just a self righteous ego booster.

I never understood why more mountains didn't do this.

I feel like my home resort loses money on it since it's an extra hour to stay open when day tickets start to get cheaper but lately they've been pushing hard too deliver to pass holders/locals since they're independent and don't have the epic cashflow. I'm all for it as long as they go bankrupt since they're better than vail resorts in almost every single way they differ.

Days get longer without artificially augmenting the clock, i thought you would know that. The problem is losing the primest hour of skiing because of some out dated BS. I suspect you only ski a day or two a week, so this probably doesn't effect you, but for those of us who are out there everyday, its sucks big time.

Thanks for not reading the thread, I literally acknowledged I made a mistake and thanked the man for clarifying it for me.

and i ski two day a week because i have a full time job, imagine being a responsible adult.
 
Daylight savings time imply that the earth is round and honestly that’s true but I don’t like it being forced down my throat all the time
 
i'm with electronic heath, spring forward is a good thing for skiing to me. it doesn't start getting shadowy at like 2:30 like it can during the dead of winter

skiing in the morning is for fuckin nerds anyway

This is what I'm sayin, we don't need more light in the AM in the winter anymore we have electricity.

Actually the time before spring forward was the old time. Spring forward allowed people to sleep the same amount of time as sunrise went from 5-6am(example) and then more daylight at the end of the day before they went to sleep, but ill miss the winter time.
