High ski slopes in the Alps have seen their second September snowfalls in a fortnight, this time with up to 8” (20cm) of snowfall reported so far and more forecast. The fresh snow comes as a great relief following a long spring and summer which melted most snow cover from glacial ice forcing almost all summerski areas to cease operating in July. Hintertux in the Austrian Tirol, the only centre that managed to keep going by using snowmaking to build up some snow on its glacier, was one of the big beneficiaries of the latest snowstorm.
