| Abstract: | This article examines the sensitivity of ski business and accommodation sector in Tyrol to warm winter seasons. The findings show high sensitivity of small to medium business, low-altitude ski areas and ski areas with inadequate snowmaking facilities. In accommodation sector the impact is not so strong. District with low-altitude ski areas went through more losses than high-altitude areas. However, the impact on ski areas was quite low at the providence level. |
