It's been a up and down start to the season for many parts of the Alps, after a great early start with plenty of snow during late November the snow slowed right down into December with many resorts seeing little or no snow for as much as 3 weeks. Christmas and Boxing day delivered a change to that pattern though with some sizeable falls across much of the Alps, and there's more on the way too.

Some parts of Italian and Swiss alps have seen huge snowfall during the last few days, with
Bielmonte in Italy having seen 160cm's, and
Rosswald in Switzerland 110cm's. These sorts of falls in such a short space of time are pretty rare, and there's even talk of records falling..
Over the next few days and into the new year, the good news keeps coming too, with further snow expected at quite frequent intervals, great news for those enjoying New Year on the slopes, and equally good news for the season ahead - with a good early base finally being built on.
