Summary
Skiers in northern Sweden are upset after finding mud and slush at a popular resort instead of snow, questioning why they were charged full price. Many reported damaged equipment and limited skiing opportunities due to poor conditions. SkiStar defended its "snow guarantee" but faced backlash as visitors felt unfairly treated despite the unsuitable weather. This issue reflects broader challenges ski resorts face due to climate change, with unpredictable winters forcing some to close or adapt creatively to maintain snow cover.
