10.3.2 Climatic Variables
The climate through its variables becomes an important tourist resource
(Besancenot,
1990
) and is analyzed considering the snow depth with regard to the
ski activities, being safe to say we have a snow-reliable area if:
in seven out of
ten winters there is snow covering of at least 30 cm on at least 100 days between
1 December and 15 April
(Becken and Hay,
2007
, p. 38).
Romania is located within the temperate-continental climate zone which is char-
acterized by large quantities of snowfalls and snow avalanches specific to maritime
and transitional climate (Birkeland and Mock,
2001
; Hägeli and McClung,
2004
