According to the French weather agency Meteo France the ski season gets one entire snowing month less since 1970 in the French Alps.

In 2021, 186 ski resorts shut down against 414 still running in France. It seems to be happening all around the world.

Some resorts are doing what they can to become more sustainable avoiding diesel engines for grooming machines. Resorts also try to make their snow making “sustainable” without draining natural water tanks.

I love skiing and always did. I even tried heliskiing a few times a few years ago, probably one of the worst practices for the environment.

Let’s face it, the cost of a skier’s carbon footprint is huge.

Can the World afford to carry on skiing?
