  Have you tried googling yourself? For example https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-and/climate-skiing https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-and/climate-sk... "Wobus, Small, and their coauthors simulated natural snow accumulation at 247 winter recreation destinations across the CONUS. They incorporated five climate models and two emission scenarios: RCP4.5 (moderate emissions) and RCP8.5 (high emissions). In this as in other studies, high-emission scenarios present more worrisome forecasts than moderate-emission scenarios, especially toward the end of the century. Under both scenarios, winter season length could be cut short by more than half in some locations as soon as 2050. Shorter ski seasons “could result in millions to tens of millions of foregone recreational visits annually by 2050, with an annual monetized impact of hundreds of millions of dollars.”"

    A lot of resorts already rely on man made snow to get through a ski season, although you do need to be under freezing.
