Austria - 50cm of midsummer snow
Heavy snow - and more to follow
20 Jun 10 - "Surely some mistake?" That's what we thought when we
saw the
Welove2ski snow forecast on Friday, June 18. It was predicting
up to 50cm of fresh snow in parts of Austria and Switzerland for
today, June 20. But that's exactly what they got.

| The Plauns campsite near
St Moritz in Switzerland, June 20. What a great
summer camping experience. Anyone for a barbecue? |
"Heavy snow - and there's more to follow. At one glacier, the
Stubai, south of Innsbruck, they're reporting 20cm of snow on
the valley floor and 50cm of powder higher up!
"Not just Austria, some of the heaviest falls have
been in the high and remote Engadin Valley in south-eastern
Switzerland, home to
St Moritz. There's also been snow at altitude in Italy - at
Madonna di Campiglio. There's even been a 5cm dusting on the
glacier above
Tignes in France - which opened for summer skiing on Saturday.
