Climate Change Impact: European Ski Slopes Increasingly Depend on Artificial Snow
A drone view of the people skiing in Misurina-Col de Varda and the frozen Lake Misurina, blanketed in snow, in Misurina, Italy, on February 4, 2024. A mild winter across Europe has resulted in several ski slopes being left completely devoid of snow, with residents and businesses attributing the spring-like temperatures to climate change. In this context, data from the Italian environmental group Legambiente reveals that about 90% of Italy's ski slopes now depend on artificial snow. This compares to 70% in Austria, 50% in Switzerland, and 39% in France, highlighting the varying reliance on artificial snow across different European countries. (Photo by Manuel Romano/NurPhoto)
