A Preliminary LCA Analysis of Snowmaking in Fiemme Valley
, 2018 Modern ski resorts have been using systems of technical snow for many years: initially they were used to compensate the limits of natural snow but today it is actually the natural snow that is used as an integration to artificial snow and not vice versa.

Snowmaking as an adaptation strategy in ski resorts - Avoiding maladaptation by a climate service
, 2019 Presentation given at the UArctic Congress in Oulu, Finland on 5 September 2018 in a session on Arctic tourism and global change. The presentation is based on the WP5 CS1 team's work on co-designing a climate service for winter tourism industry in Northern Finland within the Blue-Action project (2016-2021).

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

Les plans de pistes de ski : une saison hivernale fantasmée
EchoGéoSince the creation of ski resorts, there has been a proliferation of piste maps for skiers. By analysing several French maps and a few foreign ones, we will look at the representations of the mountains, via the ski areas, that these maps convey.
