Berman: If you like snow, vote 'no' on 82. NewsNews | Oct 15, 2026 Hannah Berman It's no surprise that Aspen One likes snow. Our business relies on stable, predictable winters and so do the thousands of people who work on our mountains and in our interdependent communities. That dependence shapes how Aspen One thinks about climate change, and it is why we are asking Colorado voters to reject Amendment 82 this November. Last season showed what a warming climate can do to our industry. Colorado resorts saw about 10.5 million visits in 2025-26, down from 13.9 million the season before, a decline of 24%. That was the lowest number of people on the state's slopes since the 1991-92 season. When the snow doesn't come, the losses reach well past the lift line and into the paychecks of restaurant workers and small business owners throughout our community. In the Roaring Fork Valley, buildings account for more than half of regional carbon emissions. So Aspen One has started building all-electric buildings because, as the grid moves toward 100% clean energy, those buildings will eventually have no carbon impact. Aspen Skiing Company recently opened Ullrhof at Snowmass, our first all-electric on-mountain dining facility. Aspen One also built the Limelight Boulder, the largest all-electric hotel in the nation, and it has been a success. But even if we could zero-out all of our operational emissions tomorrow, our individual actions would not be enough to solve climate change. That's why we leverage our voice to advocate for policy solutions and our philanthropic dollars to support regional building decarbonization. No one can solve climate change alone. The problem is systemic, and it needs policy that allows Colorado and its communities to keep making progress. Amendment 82 would move us in the opposite direction. Amendment 82, if passed, would add two sentences to the Colorado Constitution, creating a right for consumers to buy natural gas for cooking and heating and a right for distributors and utilities to sell it. Buying and selling natural gas is already legal in Colorado, and a "no" vote on 82 would not take away anyone's stove or furnace. The constitution should protect people, not a profitable industry. Things would change for the worse, and here's how: Amendment 82 would change who gets to make energy decisions in the future. The state's nonpartisan Blue Book notes that the measure may limit the ability of state or local governments to enforce existing or future regulations related to natural gas. And, because it would sit in the constitution, changing it later would require another constitutional amendment, which would be very unlikely. Once something is written into the constitution, it doesn't easily come out. For mountain communities like ours, that would be a huge blow. Local governments need the flexibility to set building codes and energy policies that fit their own climate goals and their own economies. A broad constitutional right for monopoly utilities to sell gas would invite legal challenges to that work, and it would give one industry a permanent protection that no other Colorado business has. Voters should also know who is asking for this change. The conservative political group Advance Colorado, which doesn't disclose its donors, is behind Amendment 82. So, it's anybody's guess. Our guests come to Colorado for winter, and our employees build their lives around it. Aspen One will keep investing in our operations and advocating to protect the season we all depend on. We are asking Colorado voters to preserve their communities' ability to do the same by voting "no" on Amendment 82. If you want to learn more, we're hosting a voting party on Wednesday, Oct. 21, from 4-7 p.m. at TACAW. We'll have experts from local non-profits there to walk through the ballot measures that relate to climate, democracy, education and LGBTQ+ rights. There will be free pizza and prizes from Patagonia, Burton, East Fork Pottery and more.
