Videos of the Week 9 week 51 | Still not enough snow

Just suppose it's the end of December and there's almost no snow in the mountains. Just like now at the end of 2013, only every year. Would that be the end of skiing? No, because there is artificial snow. As we will need a lot of the white artificial stuff in the future, as we already do today, and it will definitely never snow again anyway (just ask the oracle) and this powder snow is just an invention of the real estate industry anyway, here are the possible ways out of the dilemma in video-of-the-week form.

1) Artificial snow skiing for time (also known as ski racing)

Men's Val d'Isere Slalom from 15.12.2013 Women's St. Moritz RTL on 14.12.2013 Sorry, no embedding possible. Thank you FIS! Bode and Ted's double victory from the beginning of December is also worth watching

2) Artificial snow skiing with "style" (thank you beloved Shaun)

3) Sink into melancholy (thanks Shane)

4) Making fun of gapers (always possible, thank you dear gapers)

5) Skiing without snow (GOES! Thanks Sweetgrass for this insight)
