“…This is in line with the results of stated behavior surveys, including the one carried out in Switzerland (Behringer et al 2000), as it suggests that some skiers move to more snow-reliable ski destinations in case of snow-poor winter seasons. As noted in several papers (Scott et al 2008;Dawson and Scott 2010), this spatial substitution could occur under a warmer climate and benefit to ski areas that will remain operational. This effect is however uncertain in the long run since the most vulnerable ski areas (e.g.…”

“…This does not mean though, that adaptation measures will not be required nor undertaken in Switzerland. As emphasized in Scott et al (2008), adaptive capacity by ski areas will be, together with local climatic conditions, a crucial factor to determine who will survive in an era of climate change. In particular, underinvestment in snowmaking may result in significant competitive disadvantages.…”

“…These differences can be largely explained by the average altitude of the resorts, or the latitude of the mountain regions involved. Thus, colder areas (because of high altitude or latitudinal location) are less affected by climate change, or may even benefit through spillover from lower-altitude resorts that are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change (Dawson and Scott, 2010;Koenig and Abegg, 1997;Scott et al, 2008).…”

“…Christmas holidays (Dawson and Scott, 2013;Scott et al, 2008), or being operational on 8 December, the Christmas holidays and New Year (Steiger, 2013) cannot be systematically applied to all areas. There are other local factors to consider as the specific physical and technical characteristics of the resorts (e.g.…”
