boozy, well as long as it does it before 20 Jan and not after......
I think Carled would say just because that happened one year doesn't mean to say it'll behave like that again. But I'll go with your optimism

as i said ,at the moment canada and western usa are having exactly the same as 98/99 and europe is extactly the same as 98/99
:In February, heavy snowfall occurred across Central Europe disrupting traffic connections and cutting off roads and villages, especially in Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Austria, Switzerland and France. Regionally, the heaviest snowfall in decades was recorded. Destructive avalanches occurred across the Alps - in western Austria, southern Switzerland and eastern France, at least 50 people lost their lives. In May, heavy rain and thawing of the extreme deep snow cover in the higher parts of the Alps caused extreme flooding of the river Danube and Lake Constance. Losses amounted to one billion German Marks.
Excessive precipitation fell in the USA's Pacific Northwest during the November 1998-March 1999 period, which resulted in a very deep snowpack in many of the mountainous areas in the region. Many areas reported 150% to 200% of their normal seasonal precipitation totals, with Mt. Baker in Washington State setting a new record of 28.96 m for the most snowfall ever measured in the United States in a single season. In western Canada, at Tahsta Lake, British Columbia, Canada's greatest one-day accumulation of snow ever, reaching 145 cm, was recorded this year. Parts of the central and eastern Canadian Prairies received more then half of their normal yearly rainfall in May alone, submerging some of the country's most productive farmland.

How long did that ski season last then? If this season is trending to be similar to that season, will there still be good snow and conditions in April?

Yes I spent November skiing first in l'alpe d'Huez, then Saas Fee then a season in Davos. The snow was pretty reasonable early season.
