🇳🇿 New Zealand ski areas lacking snow face possible bankruptcy
Two of New Zealand’s largest ski areas on Tuesday were placed into a type of bankruptcy proceeding following a disastrous winter season with barely any snow. Last year the companies lost nearly 6 million New Zealand dollars ($3.4 million) and its total debt climbed to over NZ$30 million. The company had unsuccessfully sought a major new investor.
Should the ski areas be forced to close permanently, it would leave the North Island, where more than three-quarters of the nation’s 5 million people live, without any major ski areas.
Professor James Renwick, a climate scientist at the Victoria University of Wellington, says that as temperatures increase in New Zealand, skiing will become more untenable. He said it was hard to predict how long any individual ski area could survive.
