The Hautacam Ski Resort in southwest France has had a mostly snowless winter. In January, the resort rebranded itself the "Hautacam Plage" on social media channels, showing deckchairs and barbecues instead of white slopes and hot chocolate. "Will this become the only recipe for our resort in winter? I don't know," said Marie-Florentine Hulin, the resort's communications and marketing manager. - REUTERS
