The impact of warmer winters is already affecting Michigan's winter sports industry.
Luke Schrab is the operations manager of Timber Ridge Ski Area. High tech snow guns purchased a few years back allow for more efficient snowmaking.
It’s real, and we’re facing that," said Mickey MacWilliams, MSIA's president. "All across the state, it was warm and dry for a lot of the winter, which made it difficult to make snow.” “On record, it probably is our shortest season we’ve ever had,” said Luke Schrab, Timber Ridge Ski Area's operations manager. “December was warm, and the start of January was warm, and then we didn’t get open until January 12.”
