It ain't easy skiing green


“The ski industry needs to change its eco habits - and fast - to save our rapidly melting snow, says Tristan Kennedy.

See that hole over there?” says Roberto Marzucchi, pointing down at an outcrop of exposed rock poking through the Presena glacier, “that wasn’t there just a few years ago, it was covered with ice.” Roberto, a snowboard guide from Passo del Tonale, had done a pretty good job of finding us fresh snow to ride that morning, but it’s not been easy. Despite being one of the highest resorts in the Italian Alps, with lift-accessible terrain above 3,000 metres, Tonale struggled for snow last season. The rapidly disappearing glacier didn’t help matters." ～ Tristan Kennedy @SnowMagazineUK
