Climate Change and skiing in U.S. Northeast: Supply and demand changes are likely (2010)
Dr. Jackie Dawson (University of Ottawa) and Dr. Daniel Scott (University of Waterloo) studied 103 ski areas across the Northeast U.S. to understand the likely supply and demand changes in skiing due to climate change. A systems-based approach (supply and demand side analyses) was used to examine adaptation efforts in future. Viable ski areas will be fewer and the geographic distribution will shift northward. Demand is not likely to decrease proportionally to reductions in su
