Ski resorts in the Alps of Austria, Italy and Switzerland have reported up to 50cm (20 inches) of fresh snowfall in the past 24 hours, and in one case over a metre of new snow this week.

The biggest snowfalls have been reported on higher slopes in the Alps and the Stubai Glacier in Austria’s Tirol region has posted the biggest falls with 70cm in the last 48 hours and 105cm (3.5 feet) in the past week.  It still has nearly two months of its ski season left being open for snowsports to June 10th, 2019
