This summer in Austria was very unusual. From May to October it was continuously hot. Everything dried out except for the things that were watered continuously. Last winter we had basically zero snow in a country that makes a substantial amount of its income from winter tourism. There will be hell to pay if this doesn't stop.
- MandieD 3y agoMy kid is three, and I'm debating whether I should teach him how to ski or not; most of the northern/eastern Bavaria ski areas didn't open at all last winter, and the big one (Arber) barely did. Cross country was a write-off everywhere. Kitzbühel in early March looked like it usually does in May. I didn't bother trying after that. For those not familiar with skiing in Austria, that is a relatively expensive area that has loads of snow-making capacity.

The schools have learning to ski in their agenda, I really don't know how that's going to happen.
