Update from the Silvretta Range
The snow is starting to fall again in Austria after a fairly dry week which saw limited flurries at most areas - not a problem though with temperatures low and bases deep throughout much of the country.
Fresh snow has been reported in the Arlberg in the past 24 hours with 20cm for Lech on Wednesday. More is expected in the coming days as the country's skies turn snowier.
St Wolfgang reported 20cm fresh snow and Waidring 25cm. The Pitztal glacier, which incorporates Austria's highest lift and is open to mid-May, still has the deepest snow at 3.4m, and Lech isn't too far behind on 305cm.
Most Austrian resorts have healthy bases of 1.5m to 2.5m and are expecting more snow in the next few days.
