The snow storms which started in the Alps a week ago have continued to bring healthy accumulations to the slopes and returned the region to something more like 'normal' conditions for the start of 2015 after the unusually dry and warm December.
The Chamonix Valley at Argentiere is reporting the biggest accumulation of more than 90cm in the last seven days, with most leading resorts reporting 40-60cm (16 inches to two feet) of new snow in the same period.
Grindelwald, in the Swiss Jungfrau, which was almost completely closed over Christmas week, and was finally able to open one run at its First area for Boxing day, has had 70cm of new snow since.
French and Swiss resorts have reported the most new snow but Austrian and Italian areas have been reporting consistent snowfall in recent days.
Snowfall is expected to be light over the first week of 2015.
