Perched in the French Alps at the foot of Mont Blanc, the iconic town of Chamonix is a pioneering place known worldwide for its glaciers and as the birthplace of mountaineering practised there since the 18th century. It was in this village that the first Winter Olympic Games were held in 1924.

Chamonix confronts global warming by encouraging tourism professionals to adapt to changing conditions and promote local culture.

It’s getting too hot to make snow.

For dozens of Alpine ski resorts, this past Christmas and New Year season has been a literal washout. Very little snow fell in December. Then rain arrived, wiping many slopes back to green and brown turf.

Some ski resorts rely on machines to keep powder on the slopes. But snow guns guzzle water, are energy-intensive, and need cool temperatures to operate.

I’ve just watched the ski jumping that I recorded earlier on Eurosport.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only person in the U.K. that watches it. I love winter sports!

Great result for Andrew Musgrave in today's Cross Country Skiing especially after the funding woes. It's always special when I have a Brit to cheer on otherwise I tend to root for the Norwegian athletes

I'm having a lovely relaxing Saturday morning watching plenty of winter sports from Ruka, Finland on Eurosport. So far there has been ski jumping and cross country skiing and now there is Nordic combined. It's nice to see some snow on the ground
