Can anyone explain whats behind that horrible shitty smell after some of the snow melts away at ski resorts in the spring? I cant stand it....especially at Stowe...it freakin reaks.

ahhhhh i fucken hate that smell. but it's not only at ski resorts. it's everywhere. i think it's just that there's alot of stuff that accumulates in the snow and it all begins to rot at the same time because the temperature is rising and there's a damp environment for bacteria to grow everywhere.

water helps bacteria breed, batceria decompose things, decomposition smells bad. melting snow=water
