DURHAM By the 2070s, if climate change continues at its current global warming pace, New Hampshire’s southernmost ski areas could see snowless winters that are so warm that they’ll be unable to even make snow for skiers and riders.
That would be heartbreaking to Elizabeth Burakowski, a skier who has a front-row seat on the possible effects climate change might have on New Hampshire’s ski industry.
She is a climate scientist and research assistant professor at the University of New Hampshire. She, along with Ted Eynon, a UNH graduate and owner of Meier Ski in Colorado, participated in a Zoom video conference forum earlier this month devoted to the ski industry in the age of climate change.
