...inventory and it became common to see large discounts really early in the season. A lot of people have asked me this year if they should buy early or wait for the huge sales, and it's really kind of hard to tell.

What other museum insists you take off your shoes before exploring...
...Thompson agrees that this is a factor. "But the idea that at the end of the day, they're sitting in the mid-troposphere sublimating away is false. There are lakes on the surface of the glaciers," he says, noting that summit temperatures aren't so cold as to preclude the existence of water, "and when you drill down, the ice is saturated with water...
