Low altitude resorts, those below 1, 500 meters could become completely redundant because of declining snowfall and rising temperatures.
To take special precautions for his floppy ears, he jumps from a relatively low altitude of 4, 000 feet and quickly opens his parachute.
"What they're saying about ejecting very late is definitely true, " Gutkowski said about reports that the pilots apparently ejected at a low altitude.

The report found no definite reason why the helicopter had flown up the valley at low altitude after "abruptly breaking off what appeared to be a normal approach to land at Rochester airport".
One ejection seat shell ripped through an oak tree and crashed into a condo fence, and the other seat shell landed next door, suggesting that the two Navy pilots ejected at a low altitude, another resident, Keith Gutkowski, told CNN.

Of this most recent spate of accidents, where many aboard have been able to walk away from the wreckage, it is worth noting that they occurred mostly in the landing phase, at relatively low altitude and speed and with the aircraft in question carrying only limited amounts of fuel.
It can fly at up to 2.5 times the speed of sound and is designed for low-altitude, high-speed, precision attacks.
The probe entered a special low-altitude orbit for about five months to allow the GRAND instrument to analyze emissions from Vesta's surface that result from collisions between cosmic ray particles and elements in the asteroid's dirt.
"Because the maximum thickness of these small, low-altitude glaciers rarely exceeds 40 metres, with such an annual loss they will probably completely disappear within the coming decades, " said lead author Antoine Rabatel, from the Laboratory for Glaciology and Environmental Geophysics in Grenoble, France.
The altitude, low temperatures and lack of sunlight (at least during the Antarctic winter) make the atmosphere at the pole ideal for star-gazing.
They meet eight different military specification tests for high and low temperatures, vibration, altitude, dust and more.

And the hot plasma can also heat up and expand the upper layers of the atmosphere, causing satellites in low orbits to encounter more air resistance and lose altitude.
But high-altitude carbon emissions are reckoned to be more damaging than low-level ones, although nobody is sure by exactly how much.
They were most concerned with low-Earth orbit (that is, below 2, 000km in altitude).
This low, air resistance creates drag, so the station is constantly slowing down and losing altitude at the rate of about two miles of altitude every month.

He worries that if you ban the low oxygen or hypoxic tents, some may wonder why not ban those athletes who actually live at a high altitude and then train down below?
