Had no idea this was a thing. Randomly came across this live webcam of some ski resort in finland. At the end of the season they push snow into piles and cover it with some kind of insulating blanket. In a month or so they'll spread it out and open a few runs earlier than if they were relying on just natural or man made snow. Never heard of this and thought it was pretty cool. Is this done at any ski resorts in the US? Haven't been to one in probably 25 years.
The live webcam pans between the mountain side and the town, but you can see the snow piles if you give it a few secs.
I don't think it gets much hotter than about 70 degrees in the summer there.
