French ski resort closes permanently because of snowfall shortage | CNN

La Sambuy, a small French ski resort in the French Alps , has decided to dismantle its ski lifts.

The town's mayor says global warming has shrunk its ski season to just a few weeks .

Last winter , there was only “ four weeks of snow, and even then, not much snow,” he added.

The resort was looking at an annual operating loss of roughly 500,000 euros ($ 530,000 ).
