CNN —Nestled in the Pyrenees mountains, La Molina is Spain’s oldest ski resort.
An industry in perilSpain has been struggling with scorching heat waves and a years-long drought, and Catalonia, the region where La Molina is located, has been particularly hard hit.
But La Molina is far from the only ski resort trying to plot a future in a warmer, dryer world.
“Current best estimates are that 95% of ski resorts rely on snowmaking to some extent to remain viable,” Orr told CNN.
That’s exactly what the La Molina project aims to do — to see if the lab results can be replicated in the real world.
