Climate change is already being felt today in several classic winter resorts.
Artificial snow is part of everyday life in the various World Cups and the shortage of natural snow looks set to become even greater in the future.
SMHI has, on behalf of SVT Sport, produced figures for ten classic winter resorts in Europe.
The forecast shows that if climate change continues at the same pace as today, nine of the resorts will move towards a month shorter winter before 2099.
"The snow season is getting shorter"
With SMHI's help, SVT Sport has looked at several parameters, including the number of days per year with snow on the ground and the number of days per year where the temperature goes below zero degrees.
- The snow season is gradually becoming shorter.
We will also see higher temperatures.
And during the winter, it becomes more common with episodes of mild degrees.
That it melts off and maybe freezes again.
It will also become more common for it to rain during the winter when you have snow cover on the ground.
We see that kind of change ahead of us, says Erik Kjellström, professor of climatology at SMHI.
Falun seems to be hit hard
One of the places that seems to be hit the hardest by the ten in SVT Sports' review is Swedish Falun.
At the turn of the next century, it looks like there will be 156 days per year with snow on the ground - ie a drop of 27 days per year, which means a reduction of about 15 percent.
- We have Falun in Sweden and Oslo in Norway.
These are places that are in the risk zone when you see the increasingly shorter winter.
The snow edge is starting to move alarmingly close to or even north of these places, says Kjellström.
Development can be slowed down
If global warming continues as it does today, ie by a total of three degrees until the turn of the century, several localities will thus have a month shorter winter in about 70 years.
But for those who like snow, there is still hope - it is not too late to slow down the development.
- The figures are about what it would look like in a three degree warmer world.
And today it's about where we're headed.
But we have a Paris agreement and a goal of coming down to two or preferably 1.5 degrees.
If we do that, it will of course be a completely different picture, says Kjellström.
