Milder Temperatures a Treat for Some Skiiers
YouBy Sharon Osorio
The lawns of many Western New Yorkers may be green today, but there's plenty of snow at ski resorts like Holiday Valley in Ellicottville.
Jane Eshbaugh from Holiday Valley says the resort prepared for the milder temperatures by churning out as much snow as possible last week when the weather was bitterly cold.
Some skiiers hit the slopes today without gloves or hats, and some even ditched their jackets for sweatshirts.
While many people enjoyed the warmer temperatures, one skiier says he experience some rougher terrain through the woods, but he also says it was nice to ski without experiencing frostbite.
Eshbaugh says manmade snow is more dense than natural snow, so it does not melt as quickly.
She says ideally, there would be no increase in temperatures, but the resort usually experiences a warm-up in January.
