World Snow Day

Launched by the International Ski Federation (FIS) in 2012, World Snow Day aims to get children and families excited about the great white and winter sports. From skiing to snowball fights, it celebrates the magic of the cold. This lesson explores the fragile winter—with global warming, will snow become a luxury only for the rich? We explore the future of the season.
