Coverage[]

Ski Runs are featured in Holiday Hell.

It was introduced in 6 months after people when some ski runs begin to look the way it did before man claimed as winter playground. But strangely, while some ski runs have already seen pine saplings sprout, others remain mysteriously free of growth as if still being groomed by human hands.

In 50 years after people, the mystery remains. While some ski runs have completely reverted to nature while others are strangely as if groomed just yesterday and the reason being that slopes originally cleared without heavy machinery recover quickly but those that were intensively engineered or graded defied the return of nature. Jennifer Burt stated that the graded ski runs are machined graded with heavy equipment like bulldozers and scrapers that a lot of topsoil is scraped away or buried beneath the subsoil and the soils are compacted by the machinery which means there's reduced soil depth for plant rooting and the soils being compacted makes it harder for plant roots to grow. For the ski runs that were intensively engineered or graded, it will remain just as humans left it for a very long time.
