As a skier, I get that artificial snow is a positive thing. It allows you to enjoy the hobby better, keeps the slopes running, makes for a longer season, keeps people employed longer, and may even make for better skiing.
As a weirdo, it just doesn't seem right to me. It's like artificial waves for surfing, artificial sun for sunbathing, artificial whitewater rivers for rafting, etc.
Anyway, my point was that skiing down an artificial slope with "real" snow on it for some odd reason seems better to me than skiing down a real slope with artificial snow. Color me odd. Periwinkle, even.
