I am always slightly blown away by the spectacle of shrinking ski fields and massive fake snow machines that run on fossil fuels

Will artificial snow save the ski industry in the long run – or curse it?

Heavy demands for energy and water risk locking ski resorts into a model that climate change will ultimately make unviable.

@ketan They run on fossil fuels?

@pascalschulthess

My thought exactly.
It runs on electricity.

It depends where the power is from.
But it runs most of the time over night (so no solar).
With todays demands for energy, it's almost certainty it have some energy from fossil fuels.
