Warmer, shorter winters may sound like an impact of climate change that would inspire more joy than despair. But rising temperatures and decreasing snowpack won’t just transform water supplies and species ranges. It will also disrupt a multi-billion dollar winter sport industry, including the jobs and local economies associated with them.
“If we're not able to ski or snowboard anymore,” says Mario Molina, CEO of Protect Our Winters, “the least of our concerns will be the activities that we participate in.” So how are winter sports enthusiasts and others preparing to weather the storm?
Speakers:
Elizabeth Burakowski, Assistant Professor, Earth Systems Research Center, University of New Hampshire
Kit DesLauriers, National Geographic Explorer; Skimountaineer
Geraldine Link, Director of Public Policy, National Ski Areas Association
Mario Molina, CEO, Protect our Winters
