Only a day or two after the last huge snowstorms deposited up to a metre of snow at ski areas across the Alps it is snowing hard again and many ski areas have posted accumulations of 20-60cm (8-24 inches) more fresh snow overnight.
The exceptionally snowy start to the 17-18 ski season in the Alps shows no sign of slowing.
