Climate Response by the Ski Industry: The Shortcomings of Snowmaking for Australian Resorts [PDF]
AMBIO, 2010 Skier numbers, and revenues for the multi-billion-dollar ski industry, are highly sensitive to snow cover. Previous research projected that under climate change, natural snow cover will become inadequate at 65% of sites in the Australian ski resorts by 2020. Resorts plan to compensate for reduced snowfall through additional snowmaking. For the six main

Simulated hydrological effects of grooming and snowmaking in a ski resort on the local water balance
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Abstract. The presence of a ski resort modifies the snow cover at the local scale, due to snow management practices on ski pistes, especially grooming and snowmaking. Snow management exerts 2-fold effects on the local hydrological cycle, through (i) abstraction and transfer of water used for snowmaking, and (ii) changes in water runoff due to added ...

Snow Production Equipment at Ambient Temperatures Above Zero Degrees Celsius [PDF]
, 2016 In the perspective of increasing global temperatures, the periods with natural snow is shorter and in areas, the snow in the winter is disappearing. Therefore, it is important to produce snow at temperatures above 0°C to be able to maintain the snow ...

Natural to artificial:A spectrum of sport spaces fit for the Anthropocene [PDF]
Over time, sport has progressively moved indoors and toward more controlled environments, a set of related processes dubbed ‘artificialisation’ and ‘indoorisation’. This has mirrored broader anthropocentric changes in society globally.

Water Science and Technology, 2009 Owing to less natural snow reliability as a result of climate change on the one hand, and the demand of higher standards by winter tourists on the other hand, the production of artificial snow in ski resorts has increased substantially during the last 20 years and is likely to increase further in future. Little research has been conducted on the impact
