One skier wants to raise awareness on how climate change is affecting her favorite destinations by recreating 15 skiing areas across Utah through painting.
Climate Central, a nonprofit that aims to bring awareness to how a changing climate affects people, reports that winters across the contiguous U.S. have warmed by an average of nearly 3 degrees Fahrenheit over the last century. Those changes are noticeable for skier Lexi Dowdall.As familiar as the terrain at Snowbird resort in Utah is to Dowdall, she never gets sick of it. Instead, she learns more from the mountains while shredding fresh powder.
"You talk to some of the old veteran patrollers up at Snowbird and the nature of the storms are changing, the water content of the storms are changing. It's something we need to pay attention to," Dowdall said. She captures a moment on the mountain that is both beautiful and connective. She collects snow that later becomes the water for her painting.
"A couple of scientists at the University of Utah did a study where with the current modeling and information we have available, we might not have snow in the Wasatch by the year 2100, so that to me was kind of a wakeup call," Dowdall said.
