Interesting article....
Although the changing weather patterns may have harmed the start of the season, it appears they have had a beneficial effect on the end as more snow now falls in the Spring.
The only trouble is that many skiers, and the all important package tour operators, simply have not responded by shifting their holiday habits.

The levels of snow across the Alps have not gone down much in recent years - but the time at which the snow falls has changed. Snow is now falling later in the winter.
Skiers are making do with man-made snow
Last April in Verbier, Switzerland, over three quarters of a metre fell in two weeks.
Julian Griffiths, the Director of European Snowsport, a Verbier Ski School, said: "The conditions were awesome but many people simply do not realise how good the snow now is in April and even May."
However, many resorts close at Easter with metres and metres of snow around.
Perhaps skiers and the skiing industry will have to shift their behaviour if people do not want to become so dependant on snow canons and artificial snow.
