Climate change threat to alpine ski resorts
Alpine skiing and snowboarding may be under greater threat from climate change than scientists have previously thought, new research suggests.
A study of snowfall spanning 60 years has indicated that the Alps's entire winter sports industry could grind to a halt through lack of snow.

Or This one: From this Dec 19,2008 article in the Daily Telegraph
The Alps have best snow conditions 'in a generation'
Some 400,000 British skiers heading for the Alps over the coming fortnight will find the best Christmas and New Year snow conditions in a generation.
In resorts such as Val d'Isère which caught the harshest of this week's blizzards, the snow is banked 1.5m deep in the streets. Parts of the town were temporarily closed to pedestrians because of the high risk of avalanches.
Val and neighbouring Tignes have already enjoyed more snow in December than in any year since 1981 and seem set to beat all records by New Year's Day.
HAHA - Braying jackasses. I love how libs refuse to be humiliated. I mean, who remembers what they said six months ago? I want to thank Christopher Booker for the wonderful article (2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved) here that brought this to my attention. He really makes them look like fools.
