Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

A very concerning read, as more and more resorts forced to close. Skiing gets more expensive and less accessible in Europe. Sad

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

They cant even predict the weather 3 days out, let alone 30 years from now.
Gullible fools making the people fooling them rich.

Are there really hundreds of abandoned ski resorts in the alps?

Not sure resorts are so gullible as to invest millions of euro on unnecessary snow canons if there was not real evidence of a change

According to some reports, as many as 200 ski resorts now stand abandoned across the Alps


I know of two, both are small lifts in villages both shutdown due to Health and Safety costs, absolutely nothing to do with climate.

There's a man who doesn't know the difference between weather and climate. rolling eyes But yes, some little places have closed because of lack of demand for little places with just a few runs and drag lifts.

@mikeycharlton, @boredsurfin, Yes there are, and while lifts may shut due to non-climate-related reasons, there is no point in re-investing in new uplifts in an area where the conditions are sketchy at best. Some around here continue to attract visitors in summer or for ski touring, but lift infrastructure has now been removed.

The Alps have huge areas of very high altitude slopes that are not currently used for winter sports, largely due to access issues. I’m sure that, in the future, if warming continues and snow levels get higher and higher, these areas will become more easily accessible and will be developed for winter sports. Skiing down to existing valleys might become a thing of the past, but new ski areas will be developed for decades to come.

@Austrian Seagull, You may have a point, but I fear Greta & Co will have an effect. Short term, La Plagne is about to invest a many millions of € in modernising and improving links to and on the Glacier. ( Which is currently closed for around 60% of the season due to bad weather!)
