This could go on 'not the onion'.

I stockpile ice in my freezer year round.

This is not the future we were promised but the future we deserve.

How about we just shut those places down

Can't they just ship in the snow from elsewhere?

But seriously I have considered this. The snow cannons are pretty poor, I assume it is partially because they are low but I haven't had anyone confirm this? So can't you have a really big one that pumps out snow from a great height and makes a pile of better snow. Then use a digger to transport that snow around the mountain?
