Puzzling question - why would climate change affect this?
Does warm weather affect the internet? Is it too hot for the telephones, too wet for travel agents?

I seriously doubt climate change has any serious impact. But what does have an impact is the current economic situation and weak pound relative to Swiss franc. I've never seen so few Brits (relatively speaking) in Verbier as last two seasons. And whoever comes here for holidays now is from London (think City). Euro dropped too so I don't think French and Austrian resorts notice big change, but Verbier certainly does. This is very good for us skiers (this year many people prefer to go to cheaper but lower PDS as they have enough snow so even now during half terms the crowds are low - I have yet to see a proper lift line since Christmas) but not so great for local business.

I'm a Londoner living in the home counties and my critieria involves:
Suitabiity of skiing area (not size)
Cost
Height of resort
Ease of getting to the slopes(balanced with cost)
France seems to be ruled out these days because of cost.
I can't understand why in this financial market, where more and more people are cutting down on holidays, the prices aren't more static.
This climate change nonsense doesn't figure.
