The Solden glacier joined year-round Hintertux earlier this month but the Stubai (pictured top on Monday this week), Kaunertal and Pitztal glaciers will join them this weekend, to give five Austrian areas open – half the northern hemisphere total for the first week of October.

Fresh September Snowfall in the Alps and Pyrenees
Published : 17-Sep-2022 01:03
Ski resorts across the Alps and Dolomites have been reporting snowfall down to as low as 1400m altitude in the past 24 hours.
It is hoped that the snowfall marks a turning point after the hottest spring and summer on record in the Alps, which has led to summer ski areas temporarily closing and some ski resorts that open in September delaying doing so.

Australian Bases Hit 2 Metre Mark
Published : 02-Sep-2022 06:41
The deepest reported snowpacks in Australia have passed the 2 metre mark as we enter springtime (by the meteorological measure of the seasons).
Some winters Australia ski areas struggle to open much terrain due to a lack of snow cover and reaching the metre mark on higher slopes is a sign of a healthy snow depth, so reaching two metres is a sign of a good season.
