Just like how a snow globe loses its magic when it runs out of snow, the future of skiing over Christmas holidays is uncertain due to global warming. Scientists have studied a popular ski resort in Switzerland and calculated its snow reliability with the help of artificial snow-making technology. By the year 2100, it may not be enough to guarantee a winter wonderland on the slopes. The researchers also examined the amount of water required for producing this technical snow. As the planet continues to warm, the availability of natural snow for skiing is decreasing, making reliance on snow guns even more crucial. With this alarming information, it’s essential that we take action to limit our carbon footprint and preserve winter traditions. For those interested in the research, check out the link below to dive deeper into the calculations and understand the implications for future ski vacations.
For many people, holidays in the snow are as much a part of the end of the year as Christmas trees and fireworks. As global warming progresses, however, white slopes are becoming increasingly rare. Researchers have calculated how well one of Switzerland’s largest ski resorts will remain snow reliable with technical snow-making by the year 2100, and how much water this snow will consume.
