Originally Published on the ECOreportCalifornia\u2019s water situation is beyond an emergency, according to Healdsburg resident Dave Howard. He and his sons returned from a \u201cski trip\u201d in Northern California.\u201cThe peaks are as bald as they normally are in August! Where\u2019s the snow pack that\u2019s supposed to be providing us water all summer? It\u2019s zero folks. There is nothing there,\u201d he said.They proceeded on to Northstar ski resort. On a normal year there are more than a hundred runs. The temperatures are low enough and Northstar is making it\u2019s own snow. Dave dropped his sons off, to go ahead.\u201cThey did one run, then called me and said, \u2018Dad we\u2019re done. This is stupid. There is only one run worth doing and everyone is on it. This is not even worth spending any time on,\u201d said Dave.He added, \u201cNorthstar is scraping for their lives. Where\u2019s their Spring skiing? It doesn\u2019t exist. There in March, they\u2019ve had a bad season already and its not going to get any better. There\u2019s no hope on the horizon for those guys.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-200289","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
