Heavy Snowfall to Low-Levels in Austria
Heavy Snowfall to Low-Levels in Austria
Published : 27-Nov-2023 06:33
Austria's promising start to the 23-24 season continues with heavy snowfall reported down to low-levels through the weekend, and more forecast.
Although it's mostly high altitude and glacier ski areas open in Austria so far, ski areas with slopes down below 1,000m altitude have been reporting up to a foot (30cm) of snowfall down to village level ahead of the season start.
Fieberbrunn, which says its season will start on December 1st, this Friday, says it has had 30cm at the base of the slopes, 60cm up high. The Zillertal Arena reported a 40cm accumulation on Saturday – Sunday.
Lech-Zurs had to put a special reassurance on the images of snowy conditions it posted, insisting these were current 'November 2023' pictures, due to the amount of snow in resort streets.
The news isn't all good though, some areas have seen the avalanche danger rise to level 4 on the scale to 5, because of the heavy snowfall.
