Local ski-affiliated businesses react to the development of El Niño conditions

Local ski-affiliated businesses in Southern Colorado are cautiously optimistic about the development of El Niño conditions, which may bring increased snowfall after a low-snow La Niña winter. While a strong El Niño could push the jet stream south, creating potential for significant snow events, uncertainty remains about whether moisture will reach the region. Ski shops are preparing by restocking, hoping to regain customer confidence.
