Swiss ski resorts hit by drought (BBC)
The traditional start of Switzerland's ski season has been marred by a shortage of snow across the Alps.

The autumn has been the driest on record in the country.

Correspondents say the continuing drought is bad news for the country's tourism industry which is already suffering from the strong Swiss franc.

Big resorts such as Davos or St Moritz have been able to open a few runs with the help of snow cannons. Others have delayed the start of the season.
