Endless Summer

As anyone who knows me has been hearing ad nauseum for a couple of weeks now, the Sierra Nevada are currently suffering through an unseasonably warm Autumn. As a result, all of the areas ski hills, which had planned to open a couple of weeks ago, still sit dormant. In the bright afternoon sun the temperature climbs to about 60 degrees Fahrenheit almost every day, so not only can Lake Tahoe's many ski resorts not take advantage of natural snow, they can't even make artificial snow since it would melt faster than it can be produced.

Surprisingly, as this RGJ article points out, it turns out that the ones to blame are the ski resorts themselves in their lack of concern about Global Warming. We have met the enemy, and it is us.
