As everyone knows, climate change is affecting the planet. Not only that however, it is affecting the snowboarding season. Resorts that were once blessed with inches and inches of snow, are now having to rely on bringing the snow machines out. Even the high altitiude resorts, such as Val D'Isere in France which usually have an abundance of the fluffy white stuff, are seeing the snowy season become that much shorter.
Normally, the snowy season is September to April. But this is slowly changing. Those 7 months of skiing and snowboarding over the last few years have been cut down to five months; we are beginning to see the snow melting in mid-march.
By the year 2012, the snowy season will be be reduced even further, which, inexorably will cause a frenzy of snowboard enthusiasts all trying to get to the same resorts in that small window.
So hurry and get on those slopes while you can people!
