Italian Ski Industry Fights Back Against Climate Change with Cannon Snow-making

 

The Italian ski industry has turned to technology, particularly snow-making cannons, to combat the effects of climate change on their business. 

These cannons use compressed air and water to produce a fine mist that falls as snow on ski slopes. 

While this technology has helped maintain the accessibility of ski resorts, opponents argue that it has a significant impact on the environment and nearby ecosystems. 

However, the Italian Ski Federation sees it as an essential step for their industry's survival. It is uncertain how long ski resorts can rely on artificial snow as global temperatures continue to rise. 

Nonetheless, the Italian ski industry is doing everything possible to adapt to this new reality and ensure the continued success of their sector.
