Outdoor recreation in warmer seasons is expected to decrease by 18 percent over the next 30 years. Winter outdoor recreation on public lands is expected to increase 12 percent by mid-century, but may look different. Once dominant sports like downhill skiing will likely be replaced by forms of recreation less dependent on perfect winter conditions—less skiing and more winter mountain biking.<span style="font-kerning: none;
