“It’s a race against global warming. As the scarcity of ”the white gold” increases, ski resorts and nations will have to take different measures to make sure skiing is still there in 50 years. So where are we now and what can we expect in the years to come?”
Not the type of post that’s going to blow your socks off with an action packed ski video or juicy bit of mountain news but an information rich discussion about the future of snow production and storage from a panel of industry experts in Östersund, Sweden. The Scandanavians have been focusing on improving technologies and this wide-ranging conversation gets you up to speed on what they’ve been working on in recent years. Put on your thinking cap and press play:
Panel members:
– Camilla Claussen (Research manager SINTEF)
– Pirmin Ebner (PROSNOW, Scientist at WSL-Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF in Davos)
– Jonas Henriksson (CEO at F3 Snow),
– Geir Olsen (Norwegian Snow Consulting)
– Erik Melin Söderström (Snow project Manager at Peak Region, Östersund)
