Let it snow

Excerpt from this ski report, entitled "Merry Christmas in Colorado":

December's record snowfall amounts continue to climb. The holiday storm added 31 inches to both Snowmass and Silverton Mountain and 23 inches to Aspen Mountain's seven feet already accumulated this month. Wolf Creek received 21 inches of new snow adding to their season total of more than 16 feet.

Note that just last month, the World Wildlife Fund was painting a gloomy picture of "bare" ski slopes in the near future, caused (of course) by "carbon emissions".
