Replying to Is or will global warming affect skiing in the near future?

While browsing my area's 10 day forecast, with last years winter in mind, I can't help but think global warming is contributing to unusually high temperatures.  I fear that this year's winter might be a repeat of last, at least for some areas.    So to all you global warming buffs, is it causing the above average temperatures we are seeing and will we see much higher temperatures in the near future?
