Reddit is a fun site but I wouldn't use it for acquiring accurate resources. Snowfall varies every year and climate change may play a factor, but I'd love seeing ALL the contributing factors to the amount of snowfall.

While I agree that Reddit is a poor place to go for news, your claim describing the extent to which climate change affects snowfall doesn't refer to ski resorts specifically and needs evidence. this article by the BBC (https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230124-how-climate-change-threatens-to-close-ski-resorts) does show a connection between unusually increasing temperatures due to global warming and shortening ski seasons. Another article by the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/mar/02/ski-resorts-snow-global-warming-study) supports this with a study linking shortening seasons to climate change.
