Passo Stelvio in Italy (pictured above and below this morning, Tuesday 4th August) has reported 40cm (16 inches) of "heavy snow" above 2,700 metres altitude.
Other ski areas currently open in the Alps are Les 2 Alpes in France; Hintertux and Molltal in Austria and Saas Fee and Zermatt in Switzerland. The 'Matterthorn Glacier Paradise' ski area above Zermatt can also be accessed from Cervinia in Italy.

There's no detailed snowfall information from other ski areas as yet, but Hintertux, which like Zermat is normally open for snowsports year-round, has reported it has fresh snow this morning.
The Stubai Glacier, which isn't open for snowsports yet, normally starting its long ski-season in September, also posted snowy pics this morning, below.
Snowfall is expected to continue through Tuesday but ease off this evening before sunshine returns.

Comment: This is the 3rd summer in a row that substantial snowfall has hit the Alps in August. See here for a report from 2018 and here for 2019.
Indications of the beginnings of a much cooler longer-term trend perhaps...?
