Projected climate change impacts on skiing and snowmobiling (2017)
A simulation of natural snow conditions in 247 winter recreation locations in the U.S., including snowmaking estimates, allowed researchers to determine the future season lengths of skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling in each location. All locations are projected to see reductions in winter recreation season lengths by 50% or more by 2050. Some ski locations will see reduction in season length of 80% by 2090. Estimated impact of reduced season length is millions, t
