Some ski resorts had to close because they had too much snow.
Two of the biggest ski resorts on Lake Tahoe were still hopping on the Fourth of July, a time of year when the mountains are usually full of wildflowers.
And don’t bother trying to get used to them in their new form, because they’re going to keep changing, at an ever-faster pace.
On an emotional level, there’s something undeniably frightening about that — where’s it all going?
— but it can also, in a rare instance like the chance to ski in the dog days of summer, bring a disorienting joy.
