Revenue collapsed -85% due to no snow this year, so not a huge surprise.
It does raise the question why the resort had not builtup cash reserves to survive a snowless season or two.
After all, global boiling is not new and has been known by the ski industry for at least the past 50 years.

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

@Whitegold, I thought global warming was a 'good thing'. Have you changed your mind?

Sad news. It was my second school ski trip around 1973/74. Dan Air Comet to Clermont Ferrand and an introduction to Pernod.

In a way it's sadder than for an Alpine resort, because there are basically no alternatives in the area. Linked resort Super Besse on the other side of the ridge is more developed but faces more South, so hardly better positioned for survival. The only other significant resort in the Massif Central, Le Lioran, is significantly further south, and even further away from population centers.

@BergenBergen, that’s a coincidence, same year as my first ski trip also with school, we also flew to CF.

read the article , it’s not closing . Receivership in France is very different to that of the UK it’s about protecting jobs and the business . I went there once in the summer and because of this I like to keep an eye on it via webcams etc hoping one day I might visit on winter . Although a shorter season than most high Alpine resorts it is normally quite successful . I’d fully expect it to be fully open again next season .
