What happened
The ski resort industry is urging U.S. senators to oppose the Sunshine Protection Act of 2026, which would permanently end twice-a-year clock changes. The industry argues that losing an hour of morning sunshine during winter could delay opening times and endanger resort workers preparing ski areas.

Why it matters
The industry's opposition centers on operational safety requirements in alpine environments. The Sunshine Protection Act was passed by the House in July 2026, with proponents citing polls showing declining public support for semiannual time changes.
