The Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research documents warming that leads mountain slopes below 5,000 feet to get 20 percent less snow than was true in earlier decades. Too little snowfall means that resorts have to manufacture the stuff, using machines that required enormous amounts of energy---and so worsen climate heating. Yet even in balmy weather, come the season skiers expect to hit the slopes no matter what. So resorts concoct the man-made fluff with energy-hungry snow making equipment. Think about that when you hear about folks making snow while at the same time complaining that there is not enough.
