Lizzie Nelson, Nelson Travel ski consultant, said: "Recent reports highlight that over a quarter of European ski resorts could be set to struggle for snow again this year and in the future, but people should not be put off taking a ski holiday this winter. While some resorts are undoubtedly going to struggle, there will also be plenty of snow-sure destinations to head to in the forthcoming season." The effects of climate change were keenly felt by some resorts where unseasonably warmer temperatures made for less-than-perfect snow conditions. The Royal Meteorology Society warned that "rising temperatures and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns have led to less reliable snowfall and a greater risk of rain during the winter months". They added: "Resorts in the Alps with a base elevation below 1,500m are the most vulnerable in terms of survival. The ski industry, long aware of these challenges, is now grappling with the reality that the effects of climate change are no longer a distant concern but an immediate threat to their businesses." Some famous resorts have been hit particularly hard, such as Les Arcs in France where the snowline is shifting upwards and snow-making machines are being relied on more and more on the lower slopes. In Kitzbühel, Austria the ski season is getting smaller despite increased use of artificial ice, while Spain's Sierra Nevada has experienced decreasing snowfall levels and a shrinking ski season, prompting it to invest in more snowmaking equipment. Soelden in Austria has witnessed retreating glaciers and a reduction in snow cover in recent years, prompting it to move ski lifts to higher elevations and creating new ski){kind=link}
