Skiing Economics

I know this is going to end up dying postless or being a bunch of memes and such but I figured I would try anyways. I'm trying to think of an idea for an economics paper relating to skiing. This isn't homework and it can be as big or abstract as you want. I'm just trying to get started brainstorming. I'm going to work on the paper in my free time for the next year maybe two since it will probably take some time to find/dig through data.

Post up if you can think of any interesting and/or research worthy way to connect economics and skiing. I keep coming back to examining ski hill externalities and stuff but am trying to think of something more exciting.

Thanks

My only other idea so far is to examine a barter system in the context of a ski town. It could be interesting to dig through the possibilities or a cool experiment to try and survive solely through bartering but I'm not sure if I could turn that into a working paper. The actual idea I use will probably have to be a lot more data driven. Just remember that this is still in the very general stage of development.

The long term effects of legalizing weed in California and the use of the 'green pass' on Tahoe area resorts.

alright that might be too broad haha, I'm trying to think of something creative and interesting not just a state of the industry report.

hopefully that goes to the linked in group. It's called business and ski if you search for it.

There are quite a few threads in there worth looking at.

Also, SIA just released all of their data for the last year. Check out that and see if any of it interests you.
