Global warming and snowboarding
It seems like one of the greatest losers of global warming will be snowboarders. This winter we went back to our favorite spot for snowboarding in Italy, we have been going there for at least 4 years in a row. To begin with not everybody was excited about the trip, but just because it had become a sort of ritual in the last four years, we thought of doing it once more to finish it on 5.
As usual we got all the packing done and after a long journey reached the resort. We reached late in the night, so went to sleep right away. The plan was to wake up early morning and go for skiing right after breakfast. After breakfast, as we sat on the changing room benches getting ready for the skiing, that’s when we got the bad news that the snow was not thick enough for skiing. We were devastated. This was the last thing we thought could happen to us. The manager of the resort told us that it might snow tonight and if it does we will be able to ski tomorrow, if not, we will have to move to another location.
Right away I knew that lack of snow was the effect of global warming. Due to the rise in global temperatures many of the regular areas for snowboarding are becoming more and more impossible for the game. Resorts all around the world are feeling the heat, due to the lack and delay of snowfall. However, there are other places in the world that never experienced snow and are now getting snowfall. These places would take time to evolve into a great spots for snowboarding. As far as our vacation is concerned, it was a total disaster. We did not get any snow, but got lot of rain, which took off the remaining snow as well.
