Snow conditions

As in previous years, the Four Hills Tournament 2019/2020 is dependent on the use of artificial snow ; Due to the onset of warm weather, this time 3000 cubic meters of artificial snow were used for the Bergisel alone . The Alpine region has been particularly hard hit by global warming due to a comparatively strong increase in the average temperature in recent years ; the amount of precipitation in winter tends to increase, but is increasingly seen as drizzle instead of snow. The trainer of the Norwegian team, Alexander Stöckl, commented on the situation in the run-up to the tour as follows: “We have to live with that, because it won't get better, only worse. In 20 years we will almost certainly have no more snow. One still believes: Next year will definitely be a better winter, but no, it won't. "
