Huh? I went to the 2002 Olympics, so I don’t have other motives. I am literally stating my lived experience, before last year, there was a 5 year stretch of little snow. The resorts (Brighton was where I liked to snowboard) had to frequently close large parts of the mountain for the majority (if not the entire) year.
Yes, I don’t doubt the governor and IOC say there will be snow. I don’t doubt that there won’t be enough snow, artificial or no, for something like this. But the ski resorts, IOC, and governor can’t tell the future, especially in 10 years, and they have a huge reason to make people believe what they want, it’s tourism money on the line. The ski resorts will sell passes so long as they have one route open, that’s their business. It has little to do with the climate.
I really don’t know why me commenting my actual lived experience pissed you off so much.
