Do ski resorts use fake snow?
Do ski resorts use fake snow? Snowmaking is mainly used at ski resorts to supplement natural snow. This allows ski resorts to improve the reliability of their snow cover and to extend their ski seasons from late autumn to early spring. Indoor ski slopes use snowmaking.
Why do ski resorts close so early?
Sometimes the infrastructure forces an early end to the season. Other reasons very specific to a given resort. Running a ski area can be a very odd business, and an individual resort may have a unique reason for ending the season. Again, in general it relates to vanishing snow and/or vanishing customers.
