Monterosa (pictured top) which is scheduled to open in a just over a week's time reported big snowfalls too and a number of Austrian glaciers have had more than a metre of snow this week. One of them the Stubai, reported its access road was closed today due to avalanche danger.
There's been plenty of snow, if not quite as much, in most other mountain areas of Western Europe too (and many in eastern Europe as well). Resorts in the Dolomites have reported up to a metre of snowfall this week with some opening early this weekend and in France Tignes reported 30cm (a foot) of snow overnight.
