Ski holidays in the Alps are becoming increasingly exclusive! ⛷ More luxurious residences and shops, increasingly expensive ski passes, prohibitively high property prices... As the major high-altitude resorts move upmarket, the French clientele continues to shrink. "The consequence is a shrinking French clientele who can afford to go skiing, while the resorts are looking for a huge number of customers from abroad“, as Alain Boulogne, vice-president of the environmental association CIPRA France, explains. However, the "base" of skiers is narrow: 11% of French people claim to ski every year, according to the latest survey by the Ministry of Sport (2020), with an over-representation of managers and intermediate professions.   Full article is available 👉 https://lnkd.in/e6fVk5rX

In solitude, one meets oneself. When one withdraws from everyday life, mundane surroundings such as shops, roads, concrete, and the constant stimuli of the environment...one hears their inner voice. When the surroundings become so calm and somewhat distant, only then does one begin to feel how their consciousness is always in an excited state, and seldom does one really have the opportunity to retreat into peace, into silence, into living with nature.

Can't wait to see what the International Report on Snow and Mountain Tourism is about to reveal. One thing is clear – summer operation is becoming an increasingly hot topic for every ski resort. Transforming them to year-round destinations is the main goal.

"91% of European ski stations are 'threatened' by the current speed of climate change." The French newspaper Libération published an article yesterday about a study on the future of ski stations in Europe, which was published in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change. This article reminded me of previous articles and the work of Ouishare discussing the future of these ski stations. Some ski stations have already begun to contemplate their future, as skiing is no longer feasible. In the study published in Nature Climate Change, they mention that 93% of the ski stations in the French Alps will be in "danger". This is a subject I find quite interesting. Instead of destroying habitats by reshaping mountains to create mega-ski stations, we NEED to accelerate discussions and efforts regarding the future of our mountains. Those discussions should be opened to interdisciplinary experts and people, users of the mountains, future generations, etc. And I do believe that as designers we have to take place in those conversations. Those discussions can't go without mentionning the terrible news about part of mountains collapsing in the french alps one week ago in the Aiguille du Midi and in the Maurienne two days ago. NB: I placed "threatened" and "danger" in quotation marks because I believe that climate change doesn't endanger these places, but rather the other way around! > Links mentionned above are in the comments! #futureofski #future #mountains #foresight #design
