Robert,
Below
is a map from
www.slf.ch which shows the % of
snowfall across Switzerland as compared to the long-term mean.
1942

As you can see, several areas are more than 200% of normal, with a few stations over 500%.
Still early, but I think the data last year was exactly the same.
So, whether it's due to global warming, PDO/AMO shifts or just highlighting high early snowfall levels at sunspot minimum, it seems that we're having some 'local difficulty' in explaining why ski resorts will all open up this weekend to bumper conditions.
Regards,
Rhys Jaggar
