Four years of no rain has devastated winter storms in California. Luckily recent storms have given Sierra Ski resort almost three feet of snow. Ski parks are hoping El Nino will bring more snow for a better more profitable winter season.
"Some forecasters predict California’s mountains will see three times as much snowfall this winter compared to last year. Meteorologists believe the ski industry has El Nino to thank for its good fortune."
"California has 27 resorts – with two nearby in Nevada. It’s the nation’s most popular skiing and snowboarding region after Colorado."
"The last couple of years have been bad beyond anyone’s imagination, but this season’s already far better,” said California Ski Industry Association Executive Director Bob Roberts. “Because it’s been such a rough time for winter recreation, every resort felt obligated to open as early as possible.”
