Closure of La Sambuy Ski Resort due to lack of snow

The ski resort in the French town of La Sambuy has permanently closed due to a lack of snow. The ski season has only lasted a few weeks due to global warming, and maintaining the ski lifts has become unprofitable (the annual operational loss is estimated at around €530,000). According to the mayor, snow used to fall from early December until March 30th. It is worth noting that this is not the first such case. Since 2001, 22 ski lifts have been dismantled in France, and around 100 structures have been abandoned.
