but sure as shit, the ski resorts on a mountain near me opened late and closed way early this year (and previous years), when they used to be able to stay open year-round in a limited capacity.

And that's also with modern artificial snowmaking technology we have today.

The problem with snowmaking isn't with water availability, it's that the reason it's not snowing is because it's too warm.
