This year, many of Europe’s ski resorts were forced to close early as high temperatures left mountains snowless. Some have managed to cling on with the help of artificial snow - but is this quick fix really a long-term solution? “Snow production… only constitutes relative and transitory protection against the effects of climate change,” the Cour des Comptes (French Court of Auditors) warned in a report released in February. As global temperatures creep towards breaching the 1.5°C warming threshold, resorts will no longer be able to rely on fake snow to survive. How is artificial snow made?Natu...

Winter sports sponsors including Audi and Equinor will melt almost 2,000 square kilometres worth of snow a year with their carbon emissions, according to a new report. For the first time, campaigners have formulated a way to measure the climate impact of major sponsorship deals with polluting industries. The findings from the New Weather Institute think tank underline an already glaring irony: winter sports are imperilled by many of their largest backers. “Winter athletes want to solely focus on their performance but the spectre of climate change looms large over every single snow sport,” says...

Skiers across Europe are arriving at resorts to find historically low levels of snow following an exceptionally mild winter. Stark images from resorts in the likes of France, Austria and Bosnia show huge swathes of mountains almost entirely bare. It’s a striking contrast to how they usually look in mid-to-late February - typically the peak season for winter sports. I tried skiing for the first time in my 30s.

I’m not sporty. I hate the cold. And risk-taking isn’t my idea of fun. So switching my usual sunny beach holiday for a weekend on the slopes didn’t come easy. But I’ll try anything once. And after just two days in Avoriaz in the French Alps, I am surprised and a little sheepish to admit that I am now a skiing convert. Yes, I fell over multiple times. My legs are killing me. And I was surrounded by ice and snow. But it was also a fun, magical experience - and not as cold or expensive as I had envisioned. If, like me, you’re considering a ski trip but are feeling a little anxious, here’s everyth...

Skiing is more often than not associated with the rich and, while resorts in the likes of Switzerland, Italy and France can cost a great deal, there are less expensive alternatives. A new study has found that the average price of ski day pass prices across Europe has risen from €47.40 in 2015 to €66.46 in 2023/24. That’s an increase of some 34.8% above inflation. Radical Storage, a luggage and ski equipment storage company, has been analysing the cost of the passes at 100 popular European resorts since 2015. Resorts in Switzerland, perhaps unsurprisingly, make up 9 out of 10 of the most expens...

Ski resorts across Europe have been left snowless this winter as temperatures spike. Those at lower altitudes have been particularly hard hit, with almost a third of European resorts - from Austria’s Tyrol mountains to France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes - currently forced to close. As the climate heats up, the problem is getting worse. Since the 1960s, there have been five fewer snow days every decade in the French Alps, according to weather service Météo France. Research published last year in the journal Nature showed that if global warming reaches 2°C above pre-industrial levels, more than half ...

February half-term is usually a near-guaranteed time for ski lovers to find snow in Europe \- but it may be significantly harder this year. Instead of discovering new snowfall at the continent’s many resorts, families heading off on ski trips during the school holiday could find good conditions difficult to come across. January was the hottest on record - pushing 12-month global average temperatures over the 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold for the first time. In southern Spain, some experienced heat of over 30C - unheard of for this time of year. At the end of last month, it was estimated that s...

Natascha Ochsenknecht erkennt ihren Sohn Jimi Blue nicht mehr wieder.Der 59-jährige TV-Star hat in den vergangenen Jahren einiges mit dem 32-jährigen Ex-Schauspieler mitgemacht. Nachdem Jimi sich von Yeliz Koc, der Mutter seiner Tochter Snow, getrennt hatte, stellte er auch den Kontakt zu seinem Kind größtenteils ein.
