Evidently the\u00a0El Nino event is similar to\u00a01997-1998, and the thought is the snow will be like that too. That season, for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/utahavalanchecenter.org\/alta-monthly-snowfall\">Alta had a little over 575 inches of snow<\/a>. That&#8217;s not jaw dropping but really\u00a0good. \u00a0If that materializes, people who own snow related businesses should do AWESOME!<\/p>\n<p>Yet, I&#8217;ve also watched as the Dow Jones Industrial average drops about 100 points a day. That means the wealthy, AKA those who can afford $120 a day ski passes, $300 hotel rooms, and $100 dinners, have less money.\u00a0I suppose &#8220;normal&#8221; people (like most of us working in Park City) who ski our slopes are impacted as well. Is there a shift from\u00a0the $1900 Deer Valley pass to the Epic Pass at under $700? Do people buy the\u00a010 pass book instead of a season&#8217;s pass?<\/p>\n<p>It should be interesting this winter to see whether the snow or the pocketbook wins out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say it&#8217;s going to be a great snow\u00a0year in Utah due to an El Nino event in the Pacific.
