#2Global warming being caused in part by internal combustion engines and aviation results in less snow for skiers... Solution? Chopper some more snow in to counter the effects of I.C.E's and aviation. Huhmmmm.... Does anyone else spot a dichotomy in thinking here?

Surreal times we’re living in.

It's probably nothing next to the CO2 generated by all the people traveling there, but you're on the right track.

There is like 115,000 commercial flights a day. Complaining about the impact of celeb x or one off flights is just silly.

#6Next week it will snow again, we'll all go skiing and forget this

100 flights for 200 cubic meters of snow.
However, the heli strategy did not work, as the CEO explains in “Capital”: “This attempt did not work,” says In-Albon. The amount of snow per flight is too small and loading and unloading too difficult.
It didnt even work.

You realize there are entire towns and villages whose lives depend on this tourism, right? I'm not saying it's a perfect solution to fly snow in, but you can't discount the impact this has on the population if the resorts close down.

#9I know Europe isn't as anti climate change as US but I really hope rhat the world atarts taking this seriously
When Europe is as hot as Asia during summers and as hot as Asia during respective winters that clearly proves beyond a shadow of doubt that global warming is real
Because Trump had said "it is snowing here" to justify xlimate denying. They have extreme polar vortex over there so they haven't yet faced the severity of climate change, I think.

And you can add the water and power that was wasted before that...snowcanon's...bring up food and beer so the skiers can eat a schnitzel and drink a beer there, and about 70% come with their cars, and all the helicopter flights and explosives to prevent avalanches, oh and the nightly Snowcats to make the slope beautiful.
It's a massive waste of energy overall.
