Usually if we want snow we have to make our own. Even in the mountains the natural snow isn't enough to build enough of a base for the ski areas to operate without help. This is a typical scene between shifts at Appalachian Ski Mountain when they close the slope for an hour or so to re-groom the surface. On sunny days, it's not unusual for the surface to thaw enough to turn the ski slope into a skating rink for the night skiing session.
