Why are Ski Resorts so liberal?

[Skill and Chance]

1. Climate change is extremely salient, and in this industry, the working class and the upper class are in alignment on it.

2. Tends to be a magnet for not just rich people, but rich people with a lot of free time.  Heirs are much more Dem than the 1st generation wealthy.

The interesting question is why other sorts of resort towns aren't liberal like ski resorts.  Like, most beach towns vote quite Republican and even inland resort towns like Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and Branson, Missouri.

Retirees.  They are attracted to the other types of resorts but generally find it difficult to ski.  Also the climate change angle doesn't apply, at least not as directly.
