Winter resorts are fearing for their future, as unseasonally mild weather has left many regions of Europe completely snow-free.
Ski slopes in the Alps and other smaller mountainous spots are relying on fake snow to make narrow runs snaking down the otherwise barren and rocky ground.
Experts say this season's lack of snow offers a glimpse of a worrisome future, as global temperatures climb ever higher due to human-induced climate change.
Euronews has compiled a series of photos showing Europe's winter snow shortage.

A new England era ended in defeat as Steve Borthwick could not mastermind a Calcutta Cup victory over Scotland. Duhan van der Merwe was the star of the show at Twickenham, with the Edinburgh wing cutting inside to register the decisive score of a classic Six Nations contest late on, having already notched a phenomenal individual try in the first half. England were much improved in attack from the dog days of Eddie Jones’ tenure as Max Malins twice hit back after respective scores from Huw Jones and Van der Merwe, but defensively there were more than a few concerns as Ellis Genge’s second-half effort was answered almost immediately by Ben White before Van der Merwe’s heroics.
