When I was a kid in the 1970's, my granddad told me how warm it was when he was a kid. Where I was, the schools had to schedule snow days every year because it would snow so much that the roads were not passable. A couple decades later, they stopped it due to there never being a day when there was way to get to school. This last year, they had to start it again. It has been proven that there is a (approximate) 60 year cycle of warming and cooling set atop a slow warming cycle. Yes, eventually many of the areas that have had snow will lose it, but the likelihood is, there will be more cycles before we get to that point and even then, the cycle will bring back the skying every so often.
Here in Europe it's very bad. As a kid, 30 years ago, I used to ski at 700m to 1000m altutide anytime since December to March. There was no such thing as no snow. However, nowadays, at 1000m to 1500m you barely have 10 to 20 good ski days. And it's getting worse each year. Had to accept the truth and bought electric bikes for everyone in my family. Of course, it;s not fun to ride an ebike in winter at 1000m altitude or higher, but surpisingly, you can do it in warmer days at 500m altitude and since it's about 10-15C in the midday, it's ok. Decided not to book a ski holyday this year. It's also becoming very expensive. Will go for several days right when it snows and that's it.
To everyone commenting on this video about how the massive winter California had in 2023 proves climate change isn't real: This video cites *global trends*, which are very clear that the world is getting warmer *ON AVERAGE*. This average temperature rise results in greater fluctuations in climatic patterns, which means regional weather patterns will be more severe. Longer periods of drought and hotter weather followed by longer periods of intense cold and huge amounts of moisture. Neither of these things are good for the ski industry or society as a whole. And they are definitely happening! The winter we just had in the Western US is an example of that, and the drought conditions we had before that are too! Second, this video explicitly says that resorts above 2000m will fair better than resorts at lower elevations. 2000m is 6500 feet, which many ski areas in the western US far exceed. For reference, the base area of Palisades Tahoe is just below that at 6200', Snowbird is at 7,760', and Breckenridge is at 9,600'. In contrast, the list of Swiss ski areas on Wikipedia shows that all 40 ski areas listed have a base area below 2000m. So they are in a completely different situation than most of the ski areas in the western US, and they are much much more vulnerable.
still people are very dumb and believe a snow storm or a week of cold weather contradicts climate change, weather doesnt equal climate I have a bad feeling for the famous German ski resort of Winterberg, at barely 800m elevation they invested in the best of the best of chairlifts and snowmaking and the standard there is: white stripes of ski runs going through green landscapes, merely 1-3 weeks there is a natural snow cover
What is really dumb is thinking that all the things that cause massive warming and cooling suddenly stopped when man started changing the co2. 2000 years ago, most places that had snow on them 50 years ago, did not have it. Then something caused a massive cooling of the planet, causing glaciers to advance world wide. Those glaciers reached their maximum in about 1650 and began to retreat. In addition, we know there is about a 60 year cycle (cause unknown) of warming and cooling. We are just past the hottest part of the cycle, thus areas not getting the snowfall they got in the coldest part is expected.
Back to back above average snow seasons here in lovely Colorado, and if La Nina behaves as expected we will have a third. This maniacal climate change cult is relentless.
Yes but this video cites global trends, which are very clear in their warning. One good snow year doesn't mean the problem has gone away. In fact, the insane amount of snow we saw in places like California is evidence of an unstable climate. Ski resorts can't survive year to year if they get one massive snow year every four years.

😂 I thought that it was Climate Change. Now it’s Global Warming again? You should look at all that snow that Tahoe received recently. Palisades is still open and expected to close on July 4th.
Same here in Utah. 900 in of snow. We had a very cold winter that lasted well into April. Happily at least some of us aren't accepting this propaganda. If I see one more global warming activist with a mask on I'm going to scream
yeah it was an exceptional year apparently. I live in the swiss alps and let me tell you, climate change is very noticeable here. areas previously inaccessible in winter barely have snow and i can see the glaciers recede year by year. in my childhood we had snow during the winter in the valleys, now there's only a few days of snow and white christmas is a distant memory. some of the smaller, local lifts further down are closing down. it's real, trust me.

Solid comment and points! Thanks for watching
Still has zero proof that it is man made. Shark attacks and ice cream sales go up the same percentage every year. So which causes which?

To be honest i really dont think we will have skiimg and snowboarding in the future.
Really hope I'm wrong though
Maybe I should have bought flippers instead of new skis.
Would save you some money! So sad to think of the future of skiing
Californians beg to disagree with that 'lack of snow' thingy...

We didn't have a medieval warming period supposedly because it isn't global.
The Northwest US had record breaking snow.

No they won't, but neither will the human race, so that evens it out, I guess...

Colorado took longer to get going, but also ended up above average for the majority of the state.
