Really? I thought it was overly long, boring and not well written.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I question the logic of this piece. Coal mining is the most dangerous part of sitting by your fire?
Are they really that backward in the USA that they don't have safe working practices? I see that they persist in using the funny old Fahrenheit system which was proved to be wrong more than 150 years ago in its assumptions about absolute zero. I was thrown by the idea of snowmaking at 23 degrees - that's shorts weather.

Yes, it's longer than a tweet. 4800 words, in fact.

In non 3rd World countries surely it is all plumbed in? A chap wearing a beret and smoking a Gauloise in a chic shed just presses a button and monitors some gauges. A quick shrug when some piles of snow are made for the pistuers to spread.
I suppose the land of guns and Marlboro like to over dramatise things.

Filthyphil30k, I rather agree. Overly dramatised, tedious, and, I suspect, of dubious accuracy.

Yup I reckon avalanche control is probably the cause of more fatalities to resort staff whilst doing a specific job.

Dubious?
Just plain wrong, more like, in certain respects.
Such as the claim that you can't make snow if the temperature is above 25 (Fahrenheit) - even in the USA, the charts all say that you can make snow at up to 35F if the humidity is low enough.
And others suggest it can occasionally be even higher ( up to 6C according to Wikipedia).

Contains about the same amount of information as a tweet though
