Snowing hard on the Hintertux Glacier

Heavy snow falling on the Hintertux Glacier right now – the temperatures have been falling rapidly all day, today and snow is set to reach down to 2000m overnight. Snow and low temperatures are set for tomorrow with some further snow on Tuesday – it is fair to say that this is the start of the winter 2011/12 and there should be some really nice skiing on the Hintertux Glacier mid week. With snow down to 2000m then there is going to be a fair amount falling on the Penken area in Mayrhofen as well – winter 2011/12 is here!
