Slopes Closed Across France
Around half of the 7,500 ski slopes in France are currently closed thanks to the weather, a representative from the organization that represents French ski resorts told CNN Travel. In December, only one-quarter of ski runs in the Pyrenees range, which sits on the border of France and Spain, were open, CNN reported. In the French Alps and the Pyrenees, the warm temperatures combined with regular rain since mid-December have forced organizers to cancel, postpone, or reorganize several winter sports events, including dog sled races, sport car races, and skiing events.
