Station d'Ax - 1 Station - 3 domaines skiables

Station d'Ax - 1 Station - 3 domaines skiables
This is one of our nearest ski resorts, in the Ariege part of the Pyrenees. While this winter has been very warm and dry you do have to wonder about the long term viability of low level ski resorts. I have just done an article on the OECD report on the effect of global warming on Alpine ski resorts- see Skiing like you care in the French Alps . The fact is that ski stations are in some ways a travesty of what they actually promote, just to see what I mean try visiting a resort in the spring once the snow has melted- the mountain looks like a scared rubbish dump. The fact that ski stations have to embrace a much greener way to opperate both to protect the environment they profit froma nd to help ensure their long term viability
