3Veritasium has done a very good show on .

"The best conditions for skiing are the best conditions for avalanches." is so true.

I used to be an avid skier in my youth. One of my friends owned a private ski resort near Innsbruck Austria. It was wonderful skiing, but they had to do their own ski patrolling. Being the curious person I am, I learned. We always skied with beacons.

The Lecht ski centre has launched a crowdfunder after what it describes as a “dire” winter. I talked to people within the Scottish skiing sector and, while it’s clear there are problems with lack of snow, these are resilient characters. Not least three-time Winter Olympian Lesley McKenna who spoke about her love of Nature! https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6455919/scotlands-skiing-centres-cope-without-snow/

In a fascinating new #longreads reading list, Sam Firman questions whether skiing and snowboarding are elitist sports or a bellwether for climate change: https://longreads.com/2024/04/30/sliding-into-the-future-a-reading-list-on-snowsports/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social

"Never give up on a sunset", a photographer once told me. Nature painted an array of colors blended in shades like Ive never seen! Rainbow beams pierced the clouds, reflecting colors into the snow covered ground and sky above. I was skiing down Mt Hood when suddenly the snow shifted colors, I stopped, looked up & realized. Enjoy these gifts from nature, a blessing to receive, a beauty worth sharing. #nofilter #sunset #rainbow #mountains #mthood #oregon #skiing #naturephotography #photography

First everything turned orange, slowly fading into a pink purplish hue.
Rainbow beams shooting vertically straight down out of the clouds.
Lightning like beam of orange light swept across the sky, noticing the ground suddenly shift colors, this is where I stopped.

Quite possibly the two last days of skiing for me this season. Now, I'll start counting down until winter returns in late November 😀❄️

I finally made it back to Crested Butte after way too many years. I was treated to some great late-season snow and amazing scenery as always. #skiing #Colorado #mountains #cbmr

Looking down a steep ski slope, with a valley below and snowy mountains and clouds in the distance.

Hokkaido recently said goodbye to one of its most influential post-World War II figures, Yoshiro Ito, who left a diverse legacy in local business and international relations. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/25/japan/society/regional-hokkaido-ito/

The view from the top of Whistler, BC. Apparently that black, tusk-looking thing on top of the mountain on the left is called the Black Tusk. It has an interesting Wikipedia article.

landscapes are still one of my favourites, especially as that usually means that I’m either cross county skiing or downhill ⛷️

I will be visiting #Japan for a business trip in March. It will be my first time, and I have planned 5-6 vacation days after work, so I am currently looking for outdoor/mountain advice!

I'd love to go hiking, but if everything is snow-covered, I wouldn't mind going snow-boarding instead.

Have you been? Which places would you recommend?

Europe’s ski resorts are closing during what could be the hottest February ever

Stark images from resorts in the likes of France, Austria and Bosnia show huge swathes of mountains almost entirely bare.

It’s a striking contrast to how they usually look in mid-to-late February - typically the peak season for winter sports

Even #snow cannons have stopped working due to the high temperatures.
