Since SROCC , several new studies have addressed projected impacts of future climate change on snow reliability in ski resorts, complementing previous findings or bridging existing knowledge gaps for winter tourism. This includes, in particular, new studies for China , showing that average ski seasons are projected to shorten  along with increases in snow-making water demand , with large differences across the country. Changes in future snow reliability are projected across Europe at the national or pan-European scale , highlighting strong contrasts at the local  and continental scales. Higher-latitude and high-elevation locations generally exhibit delayed declines in snow reliability compared to lower-latitude and lower-elevation locations , consistent with assessment conclusions reached in SROCC . In general, climate change impacts and risks to ski tourism are found to be spatially heterogeneous, within and across local and international markets, with potential for significant disruptions to related socioeconomic sectors due to a growing mismatch between ski area supply and skier demand in the coming decades  . These disruptions are plausible, even though a fraction of current ski resorts could technically operate in comparatively favourable locations  and operating models  .
