Low on snow: Japan's Olympic cooling plans on thin ice via sheldrick_aaron Nobuhiro Kubo Tokyo2020
NAGANO/TOKYO - A plan to use snow collected in Japan’s mountains to cool 2020 Olympics venues this summer is being stymied by snowfalls on track to be the lowest on record, according to officials involved.
The snow will be used to cool buildings and also be handed out in packs to spectators approaching the venues in a project costing about 54 million yen . Still, the city has only collected 1,400 cubic meters of snow, compared with 2,000 cubic meters last year, when it tested the viability of the plan.
