尽管环境成本高昂, 南加州度假胜地仍使用先进的积雪来应付温暖的气候和低降雪。 Southern California resorts use advanced snowmaking to cope with warm weather and low snowfall, despite environmental costs.

南加州的滑雪胜地正更多地依靠先进的雪雪制造技术来维持冬季的运行,因为气温变暖,自然降雪前后不一。 Southern California ski resorts are relying more on advanced snowmaking technology to maintain winter operations amid warmer temperatures and inconsistent natural snowfall. 度假胜地利用压缩空气和水的结合,在温度仅低于冰层的温度下降雪,即使在不季节性的温暖时期,也能打开坡地。 Using a combination of compressed air and water, resorts generate snow at temperatures just below freezing, allowing them to open slopes even during unseasonably warm periods. 这一进程需要大量能源和水资源,引起对环境的关切。 This process requires significant energy and water resources, raising environmental concerns. 尽管存在这些挑战,但降雪对于维持该区域的滑雪业至关重要,度假胜地投资于更有效的系统,以适应气候变化。 Despite these challenges, snowmaking has become essential for sustaining the ski industry in the region, with resorts investing in more efficient systems to adapt to climate change.
