Ski industry hopes to bounce back from dismal 2025-26 season, but drought remains a challenge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As fall begins, resorts across the Mountain West are preparing for the start of the ski season this winter, following one of the worst seasons ever with record low snowpack and plummeting visits to ski areas. The poor snow made for the worst ski season in almost fifty years: visits to ski areas in the Mountain West were down almost 25% from the year before, according to the National Association of Ski Areas. When Vail Resorts put its Epic Pass on sale this spring, it saw a 10% decline in sales f
Prolonged drought could change the timing of the leaf-peeping season in the Mountain West (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Record-breaking drought in the Mountain West has contributed to wildfire conditions, low reservoirs, and has hurt agriculture and recreation. But as temperatures cool down after a hot summer, that drought could also affect how fall colors bloom on trees across the region. Dan West, the state forest entomologist with the Colorado State Forest Service, said every time a tree photosynthesizes, it uses water.

With more people outdoors, volunteers in Utah seek to protect cultural resources and encourage respectful visitation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a hot, windy day at a popular recreation area along the Colorado River near Moab, Utah, Rachel Smith is using her binoculars to look at a petroglyph panel high up on a canyon wall. I ask her if she's looking to see if anything's different from when she saw it last. "Yeah, and also just for my own enjoyment," she answers. "But yeah, I don't— I didn't see anything." Smith, a volunteer with the Utah Cultural Site Stewardship Program, monitors about 15 different cultural, archaeological, or histo
Prolonged drought takes its toll on the mental health of Colorado farmers and ranchers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This year's record-breaking drought conditions have impacted the way farmers and ranchers operate in Colorado — there's not enough water to go around, and costs are up everywhere. For many involved in agriculture, this is taking a toll on their mental health. Programs like Colorado State University's AgrAbility program provide resources to help people deal with these challenges, whether that's connecting farmers to therapy or training mental health providers to work with ag-specific issues.
