Total power of ski domains located under the future snow-reliability line

 


  • Indicator

[hourly flow rate/(altitude difference*1000 *hectares tourism region]

  • Range
 [- ski visits/ha]
  • Influence on vulnerability
 The higher the power - and therefore the ski activity- located at low altitude, the higher the vulnerability of the region. This because domains are doomed to closure in the future (Abegg 1996; Agrawala 2007). 
  • Trend
 Linear ↑
  • Data source
 Vanat (2010). Calculations made using a DHM25.
  • Remarks

A definition of the power of a ski resort is given in Vanat (2005). For a definition of low altitude, see ‘Percentage of the region located under the future snow reliability line’ in the exposure table.
