Ski resorts battle for a future as snow declines in climate crisis

Won't somebody think of the resorts‽
- You joke, but that might be the only global warming effect that the rich actually care about. Not to mention that it will probably decrease the value of their properties in the Alps
  
  They are just holding them till there tropical beach front properties.
The situation isn't much better in US resorts. I live in the Jackson Hole area and by this time last year I had a four foot layer of snow on my front yard (typical). This year, most of my lawn is fully exposed. Boomers born and raised here tell me that snowfall used to bury the town in yards of snow back in the sixties. The town would be cut off for days.
- Do you want to tell the people living outside Jackson's hole just where that is?

I’ve determined that ski resorts are just the winter version of golf courses.
- Of course. If the base cost of every outing is hundreds of dollars, you’re probably doing something you shouldn’t be doing.
Haha, rip bozos. Maybe you'd stay in business if we did something about global warming earlier. Get rekt
I notice this tendency too. Might be that in 10 years I would no longer be skiing.
I want to laugh but no snow implies lower water reserves and a poorer landscape.
But fuck ski resorts. With the skis. Sideways.
