The future of skiing in California
As the real globe warms, one trend is clear: Winter is shrinking and snow is melting. In the past 50 years, the frozen mantle that caps the Northern Hemisphere in the dark months has lost a million square miles of spring snowpack. Winter warming has tripled in the U.S. West since 1970; the length of winter is projected to decline at ski areas across the country, in some locations by more than 50% by 2050 and by 80% by 2090.
