Milder winters mean a shorter ski season and greater reliance on artificial snowmaking, a costly and carbon-intensive practice.
If these guys really believe that CO2 is dangerous, why don't they set a good example by immediately halting all artificial snowmaking until it can be 100% powered by wind or sun?  And shouldn't the Aspen Skiing Company only market their services to "local" skiers, say those living within walking distance?  And wouldn't it be more environmentally friendly to require skiers to walk up the hills, rather than running fossil-fueled ski lifts?  And shouldn't the chalet thermostats be set no higher than 65 degrees in winter?
