Anything besides addressing the real problem

Really could have done without that snark. Ski resorts aren't carbon neutral, sure, but they're also not anywhere close to a primary contributor of climate change. So I don't see why the snarky comment is warranted when they're literally doing something that will help them lower their emissions which is ... addressing the real problem.

Snow farming is one of many sustainability measures ski resorts can take. The article didn't go into detail if they're taking any other measures, but to put them on blast for even taking just one step in the right direction is a bit disingenuous.

This has been a thing for decades in some places afaik.

We've still got over a meter of snow on the ground here. They're welcome to come and get it.

They should just inject billions of dollars into making the Cheese Rolling Festival an international sport, and we can convert all the ski slopes. Plus people get food, which will promptly be in short supply, and of course some people will die, which thins the herd. The maimed can be used to promote the #1 healthcare system in the world!

This is Super-Villian levels of crazy. It doesn't matter if it's been a "thing" or not. It just ain't right.

Last time I tried farming snow, the DEA made a surprise no-knock early morning visit and ruined everything. Bunch of buzzkills.

This is sad and pathetic and horrifying.

Having tried to save snowballs in the freezer for a mid-summer snowball fight, I can assure you that that’s just going to be ice and result in head trauma.
