A several years old winter photo – when there was a lack of snow.
Ski sports centers without snow are a miserable combination.
Snow cannons work hard day and especially night in such cases.
But this winter in mostly Europe is a double problem:
Namely no snow and damn expensive energy prices for these nozzles.
There is enough water – maybe convert them into water ski sports centers.?

Not good….
Still some deny climate problems – wonder, why there aren’t fewer of them.
Indeed
A double whammy!
Some are regrettable, some downright pitiful. While others come up with something else. Very obvious regrettable for those who have based perhaps three months on their whole year’s economic existence – but strangely not many ask the environment “how is it doing, okay.?”.
