To be fair, "last 5-10 years" is pretty new. I doubt such measures were needed even a few decades ago.

- dylan604 4y agoI started skiing in the 80s, and even then they had snow machines to make snow when it was lean times. Seems much more practical than using helicopters.
- Sharlin 4y agoSure. But presumably they're using a helicopter now to patch up spots where the use of snow cannons is not feasible.
- dwighttk 4y agoArticle mentioned that “snow cannons” weren’t working and the helicopter didn’t work either
- gbajson 4y agoSnow cannons are much cheaper, but don't work when temperature is above 0 °C; helicopters can still fly and carry snow.
