Les plans de pistes de ski : une saison hivernale fantasmée

EchoGéo
Since 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.

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
