“Last year was the first time in the history of Snowbird that we opened the resort for the season, then had to close again due to lack of snow,” says Hillary Arens, director of sustainability at Snowbird Resort. “We’re seeing the impact of climate change here on the ground already. Not just in the amount of snow we’re getting, but in the number of rain-on-snow weather events we’re seeing. Historically, that happened once or twice per winter. Last year, it happened nine times.”
