The effect of climate change is an increasing challenge for winter sports, as temperatures rise and viable venues reduce. Sochi in 2014 was the first Winter Olympic Games held in a subtropical climate, and not a single flake of natural snow was expected in Beijing in 2022. So who do host cities turn to when Mother Nature has other ideas? We meet the professional snowmakers to find out about the science of snowmaking, the effects of climate change on the Winter Olympics, and how one Olympic host even resorted to Shamanism to ensure the Games could begin. These amazing folk are the Snow Whisperers. And without them, many winter sports events simply couldn’t happen.
