Snowzilla: Saving Our Winter Sports Book Cover Snowzilla Janet Lawler

As the climate crisis intensifies, one of the most visible and heartbreaking impacts is the loss of snow and ice. This is a major threat to winter sports, which rely on these natural resources to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for millions of people around the world.

In her new book, Snowzilla: Saving Our Winter Sports, Janet Lawler takes a comprehensive look at the impact of climate change on winter sports and what we can do to save them. Lawler, a lifelong skier and environmentalist, has spent years researching this topic and talking to experts in the field. She provides a wealth of information on the science of climate change, the impacts it is having on winter sports, and the solutions we need to implement to protect our winter playgrounds.

Snowzilla is divided into three parts. The first part provides a primer on climate change science, explaining the basics of how and why the climate is changing and what the impacts are on our planet. The second part takes a closer look at the impacts of climate change on winter sports, specifically skiing and snowboarding. Lawler discusses how climate change is affecting snowpack, snow quality, and the length of the ski season. She also looks at the economic impacts of climate change on the winter sports industry.

The third part of Snowzilla focuses on solutions. Lawler discusses what we can do to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. She also provides a number of case studies of communities and businesses that are taking action to save their winter sports.

Snowzilla is a must-read for anyone who loves winter sports and wants to learn more about the impact of climate change. It is a well-written, informative, and inspiring book that provides a roadmap for how we can save our winter sports and protect our planet for future generations.
