The vulnerability of ski areas in South Tyrol to snow poor winter seasons has reduced since the 1980s. While warm winters in the 1980s caused losses of ski lift transports of up to 33 %, the impact in the 2000s was comparably low with losses of 2 % due to heavy investments in snowmaking technology. In 2006/07 the vulnerability of ski areas in Tyrol and South Tyrol was different.Especially low altitude and small to medium size ski areas in Tyrol had losses of 30-44 % despite installed snowmaking systems. This higher vulnerability is due to the lower mean altitude of ski areas in Tyrol.
