darrell47+FollowSki Resorts Hit by Snow Drought CrisisUS ski resorts are basically ghost towns this season—Vail’s skier visits are down 20% and the slopes are looking bare. The culprit? Major snow drought, with snowfall at half the usual levels. Only 11% of Rocky Mountain terrain even opened in December! Less snow means less fun (and less money) for everyone. Some resorts are cranking up the snow machines, but it’s a wake-up call about climate change. Would you still go if there’s barely any snow? #News #SkiResorts #SnowDrought02Share
robertjones+FollowSki Resorts Are Swapping Snow for Rain?!Western ski resorts are in a serious snow drought—think Thanksgiving slopes with zero powder. Meanwhile, the Northeast is getting dumped on. Climate change is making winters super unpredictable, and it’s not just about missing ski days. Less snow means less water for millions, higher wildfire risks, and even sleigh rides turning into wagon rides. If we don’t cut carbon pollution, researchers say spring snow could vanish by 2100. Wild, right? Would you miss snowy winters? #News #ClimateChange #SnowDrought00Share
