1 week agoNo snow, no ski season: Greenland's warmest January shuts Nuuk resort
The snowmobile climbs fast alongside the cables of the ski lift. But the lift itself is not running. Suddenly, the driver and manager of the ski lift, Qulu Heilmann, stops and walks over to the bare rocks on the mountain outside Nuuk, the Greenlandic capital. You can see it there should be snow here. People should be skiing here, he said, pointing at the rocky slope close to the city's airport. He has worked here for 25 years. But this year, he experienced something unusual. The lift and slopes never opened. There simply has not been enough snow.
