Assessing the impact of artificial snowmaking on Dagu Glacier variation: a case study from a tourism glacier [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The study combines field observations and modeling to assess the impact of artificial snowmaking on the Dagu Glacier Landscape No.17, with a focus on long-term changes in glacier thickness under varying snowmaking durations (5, 10, and 20 years) and ...

Artificial snowmaking possibilities and climate change based on regional climate modeling in the Southern Black Forest

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2012
Winter sport, especially ski tourism - is one of those sectors of tourism that will be affected by climate change. Ski resorts across the Alps and in the adjacent low mountain ranges react to warm winter seasons by investing in artificial snowmaking. But

Modelling investigation of water droplet evaporative freezing in artificial snowmaking [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
In this paper, a modelling investigation of water droplet evaporative freezing was conducted in order to better understand the snowmaking process and hence to optimise the design of the artificial snowmaking device.

Current Technology Situation and Research Progress of Artificial Snowmaking

Zhileng xuebao, 2021
The principle of snowmaking is simple, however the process is complex and highly dependent on environmental conditions. In recent years, to achieve the goal of "300 million people on ice and snow" and to host the "2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games" China

Construction of a quantitative model for ski resort water demand and preliminary exploration of drainage irrigation pathways [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In China, natural snowfall is insufficient, and ski resorts often require artificial snowmaking in winter and turf management in summer, which results in high overall water consumption and considered as one of the high water-consuming service industries,

Ski Tourism Shapes the Snow Microbiome on Ski Slopes in the Italian Central Alps. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Ski tourism alters the snow microbiome by increasing microbial load and introducing human‐ and host‐associated taxa. These shifts may impact alpine ecosystem functions and highlight the need for systematic microbiome monitoring in mountain environments.

The impacts of sport emissions on climate: Measurement, mitigation, and making a difference. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2023
Sport makes potentially significant contributions to climate change through both carbon emissions and influence over sustainability practices. Evidence regarding impacts is uneven and spread across many disciplines. This systematic review and meta‐analysis investigates the impacts of sport emissions on climate and identifies knowledge gaps. Researchers

Technology on Snow and Ice: Innovation, Monitoring, and Performance for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. [PDF]

Scand J Med Sci Sports
ABSTRACT Elite performance in Olympic winter sports depends on the interplay among the athlete, equipment, and the snow or ice. This naturally evolves with temperature, humidity, wind, preparation, and contact between the equipment and its surface. Together, these factors continuously rebalance the forces of gravity, aerodynamic drag, and friction ...
