"The climate crisis is obviously far bigger than FIS − or sports, for that matter: it is a genuine crossroads for mankind," said FIS President Johan Eliasch.
"It is true, though, that climate change is, simply put, an existential threat to skiing and snowboarding. We would be remiss if we did not pursue every possible effort that is rooted in science and objective analysis."
By 2026, the Swiss Climate Change Scenarios CH2018 predicts the zero-degree level altitude of snow will rise by between 400-650 meters by 2060, which could devastate ski resorts.
Global warming is causing the Alps' glaciers to melt at a record pace, posing threats not only to tourism but also to precious ecosystems and wildlife.
