Some ski areas do a snow job on skiers -- exaggerating weekend snowfalls to get schussers to come on down, a study found. If Global Warming keeps up, they'll never have to exaggerate again. In fact, it's so good for business they should form a lobby: Ski Areas For Global Warming.

No reason to lie about our local ski conditions.
Tahoe has been getting pounded with snow for weeks already.

The places near me have snowmakers. So they exaggerate? ;-)

Makes me think of that old joke about women not being able to tell six inches because men lie to them about it so often.
Works for snow, too. ;-P
