Today's Global Warming Story

Global warming is wreaking havoc on the ski slopes of Colorado:

Aspen plans to open back up for skiers

ASPEN – Skiers who are still are not ready for summer to start will get another chance to take to the slopes this weekend.

The Aspen Skiing Company said Monday that it will open up Aspen Mountain from June 13 to 15 for skiers and snowboarders.

The company says record winter snowfall has left the mountain covered with snow, leaving behind an average of more than 3 feet of snow on the upper slopes.

So, for this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aspen will open seven runs and about 45 acres of mostly intermediate terrain that is accessible by the Ajax Express chairlift.

Coming soon to the headline of a newspaper near you: "Global Warming Causes Spike in Frostbite Reports"

P.S. It's snowing today in the mountains east of Seattle.
