Book a ski package before it’s too late

The fine people at Expedia are offering some really good deals on ski packages as the season heads into its second half: Ski getaways from only $332 at Expedia Expires 2/22/08

And by before it’s too late, I mean before skiing as we know it become impossible outside of Antarctica itself. My aunt says winter days are normally around freezing where she lives, but last week there were several days above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s 10 or so degrees of global warming, people! What are you waiting for?

At this rate I think we’ve got one or two more years of potential skiing, tops. And as skiing is limited to fewer and fewer places, there are sure to be riots to go along with the skyrocketing prices. This is not going to be pretty for the skiing community, and I imagine skiing gangs will emerge, and many of them will have cartoonish names and affectations, just like in that movie The Warriors. And dominant gangs will defeat the less violent ones, and they’ll more or less control the few remaining ski slopes.

Does this sound like how you want to spend your vacation in future years? Me either, so these great deals starting at $322 are the only thing separating me from a future of madness and chaos where snow becomes more valuable than gold. Although the aunt that told me about the weather was also sure that her cat controlled the speed of the moon’s rotation around the earth, so we’ll just have to wait and see on this one.
