Record low snowfall in Japan has forced many ski resorts to shut their doors and is threatening a World Cup ski jumping competition, with organisers forced to truck in extra powder.
"There are various factors behind the small amount of snow this season but climate change is among them," Motoaki Takekawa, an official from the agency's global environment section, told AFP. In Zao, one of Japan's best ski resorts, organisers were trucking-in extra powder for the landing slope of a ski jump where the women's World Cup competitions will take place this weekend.
