I studien undersöks relationen mellan svenska skidbranschens klimatberoende samt klimatpåverkan. Huvudfrågan är: Vad är skidbranschens ansvar i klimatfrågan och hur kommer branschen hantera förändringar i framtiden? Intervjuer samt tidigare forskning sattes i relation till teorier av Boserup, Ostrom samt Hess. Skidbranschen är enligt tidigare forskning till stor del beroende av ett kallt klimat samtidigt som branschen bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen, främst genom transporter. Utifrån informanterna samt tidigare forskning styr konsumenterna till stor del branschens utveckling och i enlighet med Boserups teori bekräftar vår studie att de tekniska lösningarna skett som ett svar på en större efterfråga samt konsumenters hårdare krav. Den tekniska utvecklingen ses både av informanterna i branschen samt den tidigare forskningen som en lösning på de konsekvenser som klimatförändringarna kan föra med sig. Klimatförändringarna förväntas, enligt tidigare forskning att påverka skiddestinationer och åtgärder för att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser behöver tas. Utifrån Ostroms och Hess teorier föreslår vi vintern som en common för att på så sätt få mer effektiva styrningssystem gällande skidbranschen. / This study examines the relationship between the Swedish ski industry’s dependence and impact on the climate. The main question was: What is the ski industry’s responsibility in the climate issue and how will the industry handle climate changes in the future? Interviews and previous research were put in relation to theories of Boserup, Ostrom and Hess. According to previous research, the ski industry is largely dependent on a cold climate, while at the same time the industry contributes to global warming, primarily through transports. Based on the informants as well as previous research, the consumers largely control the industry’s development and our study in connection with Boserup’s theory, is that the technical solutions have been made in response to a greater demand and harder consumer requirements. The technological development is seen both by the informants in the industry and the previous research as a solution to the consequences that climate change may bring. According to previous research, climate change is expected to affect ski destinations and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions need to be taken. Based on Ostrom’s and Hess's theory, we propose winter as a common in order to get more efficient control systems for the ski industry.

From the Proceedings of the 1975 Meetings of the Arizona Section - American Water Resources Assn. and the Hydrology Section - Arizona Academy of Science - April 11-12, 1975, Tempe, Arizona / The quantification of snowpacks in relation to inventory-prediction may be useful in the development of water yield improvement practices involving vegetation management in the mixed conifer forests in Arizona. While mixed conifer forests are relatively limited in extent in Arizona, the potential for water yield improvement by manipulation of snow storage through vegetation management may be high. Sample points on the north fork of Thomas Creek showed high initial snow storage followed by slow melt in association with low forest densities, low potential insolation values, and high elevation. Sample points exhibiting these conditions also possessed maximum storage-duration index values. Low initial snow storage followed by rapid melt was associated with high forest densities, high potential insolation values, and low elevations
