Non ski resorts: Gearing up for a future without snow
This is slightly scary but not entirely unexpected.According to a New York Times report, ski resorts in Europe are making the necessary adjustments to continue attracting people to the resorts after global warming has all but eliminated the possibility to ski.
Resorts are already investing in more snow making machines, but this alone won't solve the problem. Instead, in places like the Swiss Alps, ski resorts are beefing up their "off-slope attractions" and adding spas, shopping, sun decks, pools, and funky architecture to attract non-skiers to snowless ski resorts.
It's a scary world out there folks. Better get your skiing in before Dubai becomes the only place on this planet where you can do it.
