Ski resorts are relying on artificial snow to keep them open through the winter — here's how it works
by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions are not curbed. Resorts at lower altitudes could suffer the most, possibly seeing an 80% snowfall reduction, in the worst-case scenarios.Hugues François, research engineer at National Institute of Agricultural Research:
This small resort in southern France — at just over 1,200 meters in altitude — is already feeling the impact. "The older generation has never experienced so much humidity, so much heat, so much fog at this time of year. Normally, this is a period when you have dry cold, real cold." At ski resorts like Les Arcs in France, a complex network of reservoirs, pipes, and pumps create artificial snow."There is a lack of snow, a warming up. This is something that we have felt for years."
