How is climate change impacting winter?

  • Diminished snowpack
  • Glacial recession
  • Snow levels rising
  • Shorter season
slide-36
SLIDE 36

How is climate change impacting snowsports?

  • Spring arrives in Lake Tahoe three

weeks earlier now than it did in 1965

  • Under a high emissions scenario, by

2100, Aspen’s climate will be more like Texas today

  • With a temperature rise of 4C, about

40% of precipitation that currently falls as snow will fall as rain at 7,000 feet, which is the base elevation at Canyons, Park City, and Deer Valley

Why is the snowsports industry so important?

  • The winter sports community

generates $66 billion annually and supports 965,000 jobs

  • Outdoor recreation spending

generates $646 billion, supporting 6.1 million jobs

  • What other industry has

economic power to speak out

  • n climate?

SLIDE 38

What is at risk?

  • The downhill ski resort industry

is estimated to have lost $1.07 billion in revenue

  • In a high emissions scenario:
  • In the Northeast, only 4 out
  • f 14 major ski resorts will

remain profitable by 2100

  • Park City will lose all

mountain snowpack by 2100 while Aspen’s snowpack will be confined to the top quarter of the mountain

  • urselves or do we

remain silent and watch it slowly disappear?”
