Glacier Skiing
Home » Skiing » Blog » Glacier SkiingSome sad news for glacier-skiing:
The French resort of Alpe d’Huez, the traditional home of summer glacier skiing, has announced it is suspending this year’s skiing on the Sarenne glacier. The instability of the melting on the glacier promoted the decision, which was vaguely worded to infer that skiing on the glacier may not be reinstated for many years – if ever.
The lift served summer season ran from June into late August, depending on conditions and always attracted a large international crowd of downhill and skiers, snowboarders and cross-country skiers. In fact, many cross country racing teams, including the French National team took advantage of the glacial snows. Now a team of environmental scientist will try to implement plans to stabilize the Sarenne.
