Here's the latest bleak report:
Climate Change Threatens Ski Industry, Leaving Slopes Bare
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/13/us/climate-change-threatens-ski-industrys-livelihood.html?hp
***Under certain warming scenarios, more than half of the 103 ski resorts in the Northeast will not be able to maintain a season length of 100 days by 2039, according to a study to be published next year by Daniel Scott, director of the Interdisciplinary Center on Climate Change at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.
By then, no ski area in Connecticut or Massachusetts is likely to be economically viable, Mr. Scott said. Only 7 of 18 resorts in New Hampshire and 8 of 14 in Maine will be. New York’s 36 ski areas, most of them in the western part of the state, will have shrunk to nine. ***
