If winter defines us as Alaskans, as skiers and outdoor enthusiasts, what happens when we start to lose winter? We’ve seen that happening. In 2014 we had a warm and largely snow-free January, and when the next winter came around it was late and warm. Strange weather is becoming the new normal and we’re forced to adapt to climate change, because we don’t have a choice. On the next Outdoor Explorer, we'll look at what that means from scientific and a practical perspective.
