Snow Shortage still plagues Ski Resorts - Dec 8, 2002

Shames Mountain is due to open Dec 13, although it is still uncertain whether sufficient snow fell over the weekend for reasonable skiing.

Editorial Staff at Kermode Net were unable to determine whether North America's two leading experts on climate change, George W. Bush, and Ralph Klein, would be issuing any statements confirming that this lack of snow is just a one-time aberration and nothing to be concerned about.

In the meantime viewers can check out conditions enjoyed by visiters to Ski Smithers last Sunday, Dec 1. where at least a reasonable number of runs were open.

The following virtual reality view is for those of you with high speed. You can just let the scene scroll by or you can stop it with your mouse and then move the 360 degree panorama around at your own speed and inclination.
