Snowmaking's slippery slope: The effect of mountain reservoirs on water demand

Ecological Economics
Snowmaking is the primary adaptation of winter tourism to climate change and requires increased water use in winter. However, water withdrawals during this period coincide with the mountain low-flow period, which can potentially cause conflicts with other human uses and ecosystems.

Mountain Reservoirs for Snowmaking: a Guideline for Design, Construction, Monitoring and Rehabilitation

, 2010
Mountain reservoirs are hydraulic structures in ski resorts in the mountains, used to store water in general for snowmaking. There are more than one hundred of them in France, most of them less than 10 years of age. Despite their modest volumes (5,000 to 400,000 m3) and dam heights of between 5 and 20m, these structures do induce potentially high risks

Snowmaking and sustainability of mountain socio-hydro-ecological systems

Le tourisme hivernal est d’une importance économique majeure pour les territoires de montagne. L’enneigement naturel se raréfie sous l’influence du changement climatique.En réponse, les stations produisent de plus en plus de neige, ce qui implique d’importants prélèvements d’eau. Cette situation pourrait engendrer des conflits avec d’autres usages de l’

Biodiversity and solutions for snowmaking reservoirs revegetation : toward novel ecosystems ?

Les milieux aquatiques et humides, et la biodiversité associée, connaissent un déclin marqué à l’échelle mondiale sous l’effet des changements globaux, avec des conséquences majeures pour les sociétés humaines. En montagne, ces écosystèmes sont particulièrement vulnérables : la longue durée d’enneigement, les températures extrêmes, l’intensité du ...

Is snowmaking climate change maladaptation?

Journal of Sustainable Tourism, 2022
Snowmaking has been an integral part of the multi-billion-dollar ski industry in most regional markets for more than 20 years and is one of the most visible and widespread forms of climate adaptation in the tourism sector. Under accelerating climate change, snowmaking is projected to increase at most destinations - some substantially.
