Olympic skier Ted Ligety plays straight man to a sullen, animated snowflake in this 90-second spot from Al Gore's Climate Reality Project.

It's part of CRP's "I Am Pro Snow" campaign featuring winter sports stars. Ligety's side of the conversation was created from footage of the gold medalist chatting with a technician while shooting a segment for Warren Miller's documentary Ticket to Ride.

Copywriter Jim Heekin voices the snowflake, who's just not cool with global warming.
