Snow Making at Ski Resorts Go High Tech

****

This article's focus is snow making at ski and snowboard resorts, and how it has improved in the recent years.  Because of the recent lack of snow, ski and snowboard resorts have had to improve their snow making techniques in order not to push away their customers.  And it was a huge success.  "'If I'm going down a run, I cant tell you if I just skied on natural or man-made snow,' said Bruce Lee, a Redondo Beach resident who has been skiing for 30 years.'"  The recent success in improving the man-made snow is music to the ears of all snowboarders and skiers who have been down due to the lack of natural snow.

As an avid snowboarder and skier,  I can personally say that this article made me feel better about the upcoming winters.  Last year was an awful year for skiing and snowboarding, and this year has already been an improvement.  It made me hopeful for the years to come, and it inspired me to keep boarding.  I learned that making snow isn't as easy as I had originally thought, and it taught me to be more appreciative of how far the ski resorts go to improve the hills for us.
