I am pretty lucky to live in a place where it’s only about 3 hours drive to some really good Alpine skiing and snowboarding. Getting ready to head down to the mountains a few times this year and I’ve already heard that the valleys are dry and some parts of the Dolomites didn’t even get snow at the end of December last year.
Teton Gravity Research has put together a great perspective on these changes called GENERATIONS – A Skiers’ and Snowboarders’ Perspective on Climate Change. You can watch the entire video here.
Within the span of a lifetime, one can observe the planet’s changing climate. Skiers, snowboarders, farmers and climatologists across the world are experiencing the effects of climate change. Ski areas in the Northeast United States are witnessing shorter winters. California’s farmlands are experiencing water shortages. Europe’s glaciers are receding at alarming rates. Generations is a film about the consequences of climate change and shows you what you can do to make a difference.
