Covid and Tourism

 There is no shortage of news related to Covid.  Southwest Airlines is threatening massive layoffs or furloughs if union employees don't take a pay cut.

On the other side of tourism news, Colorado wants the ski industry to get the first vaccines, after essential employees to spur the economy.

And you can always do a Scholar Google search for more stuff to read.

LOST SKI RESORTS

since we are getting a heat wave later this week, I thought I would share a site that identifies all the lost ski resorts in New England.  See http://www.nelsap.org/ma/ma.html for Massachusetts.  Jug End, near the AT is found here.

Reason?   well in part it is the mega corporations buying out the smaller family run places.  But climate change has something to do with it also.
