Climate controls on snow reliability in French Alps ski resorts. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractSki tourism is a major sector of mountain regions economy, which is under the threat of long-term climate change. Snow management, and in particular grooming and artificial snowmaking, has become a routine component of ski resort operations, holding potential for counteracting the detrimental effect of natural snow decline.

Reliability of Roof Structures Subjected to Snow Loads [PDF]
Proceedings of the 30th European Safety and Reliability Conference and 15th Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Management Conference, 2020 A proper evaluation of snow loads on roofs is crucial for structural design especially to guarantee an adequate reliability level of lightweight roof structures. The definition of roof snow load in structural codes is based on both the evaluation of ground snow loads and conversion factors from ground to roof load, which are function of the roof’s ...
