The glacier ski season is in full swing in the Alps, but even the highest slopes will be touched by the coming thaw.
Phew. The snow's come right on schedule. Though we'll have to put up with another thaw next week.
The weather charts are being a tease at the moment, but there's hope for the end of the week.
It's too early to be sure, but we could see more snow in the high Alps on October 3 or 4.
September's snowy spell will bow out with one final flourish. We're sorry to see it go.
Today's fast-moving band of snow will be followed by further falls on Saturday and Sunday. It's great news for the glacier ski areas.
Several glacier ski areas had a top-up on Sunday, and are on course to open over the next week.
Autumn's off to a cracking start - though all the snow lower down has already melted.
It won't last of course. But 30cm is expected in some eastern areas.
