An extended snowsports season was worth about £23 million to the Scottish economy, according to an industry body.
The majority of skiing and snowboarding runs on CairnGorm Mountain, Glenshee, Glencoe the Nevis Range and the Lecht Ski Centre remained open until Sunday with snow falling later in the year than usual.
Ski-Scotland said an estimated £4.6 million was spent on the slopes while more than £18 million has been spent on accommodation, travel, food and drink in towns and villages close to the resorts.
Heavy snowfall last year saw Scottish resorts covered with more of the white stuff than some of Europe's most popular skiing areas.
Ski-Scotland said that encouraged more skiers and boarders to come back this year with "unprecedented" late-season snow.
Investments in facilities and transport at Scotland's five resorts are now planned over the summer to make improvements for next season.
Ski-Scotland chair Heather Negus said: "In many ways, this season was very similar to last year.
"We had excellent snow at most resorts and the five snowsports areas were able to operate for a total of 463 days, better than last season's 441.
"Great winter-quality powder brought out more skiers and boarders to slide late-season. Usually by April people are thinking of other activities, but not this year."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
