Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Jackson Hole Dies?

Not sure if this has been done before.

When this happens Jackson Hole & Grand Targhee will be finished.

Makes you wonder why so many people choose to live in harms way?

When I watched an episode of Horizon on this subject, the conclusion was that it would have dire consequences on the entire northern hemisphere - a bit more than a couple of ski resorts (in fact a lot more than skiing full-stop) would be significantly affected (especially agriculture).

stanton, you should learn more about the geography/geology of the western USA. If everyone worried about what might happen, there'd still be Indians hunting buffalo. Heard about the faults that run all the way up the west coast - including Vancouver/Seattle. Active/dormant volcanoes like Mt Rainier - bye bye Seattle when she blows. And all those tornadoes in the mid west, hurricanes in the south and on the east coast. Killer snakes. Grizzly bears. Rabid right wing republicans on talk-back radio. It's amazing anyone lives here.

And what about Japan? Only a matter of time before an earthquake flattens a major city there again. Or a volcano explodes. And New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, all seismically very unstable places. I hear there's a nice hut in northern Scotland that's pretty safe ... except on Friday nights when the pub shuts Smile

I am not worried if City get flattened. Im talking Ski Country Very Happy

I've skied on the Volcanos in the North West US, Chile & NZ. When Mt Ruapehu (NZ) goes off

The kiwis seem to get the ski field working again pretty quick

This Super Volcano in Yellowstone is something different.

Crystal Mountain is opposite Mt Rainier. There's 3 ski areas on the active Mt Hood. Mt Bachelor is opposite an active and currently bulging volcano. Mt Baker ski field is about 10 miles from Mt Baker! These areas are my ski country Smile. And all areas are highly populated.

and my friends who live in Bozeman, Mo would probably be quite concerned about Bridger Bowl!!!

stanton, not exactly news is it?

But when the supervolcano does go - all the Midwest will be under ash and US forces will be deployed to secure food rather than oil. And we will all be up the creek.

The Dutch will be safe however. No one will be after any of their culinary delicacies.

No

Taking ski holidays might be the last thing on everyone's mind if there was a cataclysmic event like a supervolcano. On the other hand, the plunge into a new ice age might mean that skiing is a sensible way to get around for the majority of people outside the tropics...

It's pretty well known this side of the pond. Well, for those who cares to know, that is.

What do you think those lovely hot springs come from?

See Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything pages 198-208. The last eruption at what is now Yellowstone, was a thousand times bigger than Mt St Helens, the one before that between 2,500 and 8,000 times bigger. It erupts on average every 600,000 years, the last one was 630,000 years ago, so it's due one. Skullie

The last supervolcano that erupted was Toba in northern Sumatra 74,000 years ago and it is believed that it drove humans to the brink of extinction. Ice cores from Greenland reveal at least six years of volcanic winter followed Toba.

abc, It is reasonably well known in Europe too.

In New York you probably should be worrying about Cumbre Vieja too.

Not really. My PhD tutor and now one of my best mates was the principal scientific advisor to the Supervolcano programme, so I think we know a little bit about the potential of that volcanic region Wink

There was a program on that supervolcano in Yosemite about a year ago or two....the world would be plunged into darkness for a couple of years.

Great book that. Yes, statistically it's due to blow any minute. Nobody knows when exactly, or exactly how big the erruption will be. But it's likely to be an extremely bad day for those living close by and very bad news indeed for the rest of us. Nobody will be worried about global warming for a few hundred years afterward. But chances of this happening in the next 100 years are still extremely slim. But it's highly likely over the next 100,000 years or so. So unlikely to affect future investment at JH
