Skiing Doomed In Ten Years

Twenty years ago the United Nations predicted doom for Kitzbuhel and Oberstdorf in 30-50 years.

“Low-lying slopes such as Kitzbuhel in Austria and Oberstdorf in Germany may receive so little snow over the next 30 to 50 years that skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing cease to be viable winter industries. The warning comes in a study by the University of Zurich for the United Nations Environment Programme.”
