Return to Story IndexI SNOW BUSINESS
BUT WHILE SOME ARE ENJOYING THE MILD WEATHER, OTHERS DEPEND ON THE COLD AND SNOW TO MAKE A LIVING. EYEWITNESS STORM TEAM METEOROLOGIST ASHLEY SMITH EXPLAINS WHY WE'RE MISSING OUT ON WINTER AND HOW SOME ARE MAKING DO IN THE SNOW BUSINESS. Sun, sandals, and snow? It's been a mixed bag of weather this winter in the Mountain State BUT IT'S BEEN MOSTLY SNOW-FREE. With record setting warmth in both December and January, snow has been scarce especially in the lowlands. AND REACTION HAS BEEN MIXED. Tyson Corley Spring Hill 38:12 I think we've been blessed!.. 38:24 I'm lovin it! Kim Silvernagel Patuxent River, MD 3:00 It was disappointing not to have as much snow .. There just hasn't been any to enjoy so I'm hoping it keeps snowing 57:6 it's been a bad winter for everyone *Nats of Plane* There's no reason to fly south to find the warmth this year. 39:06 You hear people talking about moving down south for warmer weather but it seems like it came to us! *Nats of golf club* Tyson Corley has been hitting the links all winter long. And he's not alone. Jeff Bryant Golf Course Manager 36:22 It's been wonderful for instance yesterday we did more business than we did all of last winter But while this warm weather has been nice for golfers.. not so much for skiiers.... *Nats of snow making* Skiing is an estimated quarter-billion-dollar industry in West Virginia. An industry that relies on Mother Nature and Old Man Winter to bring in the big bucks. Mark: 49:37 Skiing on the east coast is always a roll of the dice you just have to pray to mother nature and hope for the best. We're all optimists in this business, we know it's going to get cold and when it does we know we can make a lot of snow DAVE HUBER DIRECTOR OF SKI OPERATIONS, SNOWSHOE 44:42 This year's been a struggle compared to the last two winters. The weather hasn't been consistent for snow making.. We're about 86% open Dave Huber is the Director of Ski Operations at Snowshoe Resort and is largely in charge of the snow making routine on 244 acres of ski slopes. As you might imagine, he's been very busy this year. As of February 1st, Snowshoe received only 70 inches of snow. Of those 70 inches, 20 fell before they were even open in October. Their total snowfall is less than half of their seasonal average with their peak snowfall typically falling in January. With less natural snow, the resort is focrced to make more snow than usual. An investment that doesn't come cheap. Joe: 27:54 We have invested millions upon millions of dollars in the last decade on snow making and keeping up to speed on that for years like this THE UNUSUALLY Warm weather ALSO caused a delay in opening ALL OF WEST VIRGINIA'S SKI resorts. JOE: 27:08 For the delay in opening we're still down about 10%, we've made up some numbers FEWER people hitting the slopes also means FEWER people buying skiis, boots, snow gear, and even gloves. Buddie: 34:54 It's a little slow right now Clendenin says discounts at Sport Mart in Charleston have been OFFERED UP earlier this year than in the past. Another sign of bad snow business. So where's winter? *vids of weather graphics/explainers* Taking a look at the big picture... this was the setup last year. A high pressure SYSTEM WAS parked over Greenland WHICH PUSHED cold air and snow south into our area. This year, the HIGH PRESSUE is not there SO THERE'S NOTHING PUSHING THAT COLD CANADIAN WEATHER SOUTH. The result is record warmth and not a lot of snow. Stand Up: While most of us are enjoying the mild winter in our neighborhoods, you don't have to go very far to find a winter wonderland in Snowshoe. Joe: 29:01 that is our biggest challenge right now is convincing people in the metro areas that the daffodils are blooming in January and February and there's snow on the mountains 36:31 there's still skiing out there you just have to get away from this nice valley weather for golf and get into the ski resorts and ski So if you are a winter weather lover, there are STILL plenty of places to hit the slopes without going too far.. Reporting in Snowshoe, Ashley Smith, Eyewitness News. AS FAR AS WHAT FEBRUARY AND MARCH MIGHT HOLD, IN PAST YEARS LIKE 1993 WHEN WE HAD A MILD START TO WINTER WE DID GET A BLIZZARD IN MARCH. WHILE THE LONGTERM FORECASTS DON'T CALL FOR ANY MAJOR CHANGES, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!
