The view from the top of Sugar Bowl Ski Resort looking down on Donner Lake, above, is starkly beautiful but mostly devoid of snow – and officials at area ski resorts are all hoping for whiter vistas in the future. At Soda Springs Mountain Resort, left, the only operating ski lift is dependent on machine-made snow, which has provided a less-than-ample base for winter sports enthusiasts. A snowboarder, lower left, carves his way down one of the few working runs at Squaw Valley USA. And at Boreal Mountain Resort near Donner Summit, snow – of the machine-made variety – falls as two youngsters, below, engage in a snowball fight.

Skiers trek across a thin layer of snow at Soda Springs Mountain Resort near Donner Summit, above. With the help of machine-made snow, the resort is operating one run. Squaw Valley, top, is also mostly snowless – and forecasts suggest that won't change very soon.
