Winter Snowfall in Bad Hofgastein

Snow has been falling slowly for the last few days. Its not been a blizzard, there has been no wind. The fields around the village are under a foot of powder. Up the mountain the snow is much deeper. A common sight today has been a group of skiers looking for a lost ski in the deep stuff, an exhausting occupation. The visibility has not been great and, after the piste has been cut up by slower skiers and boarders, its a bit of a lottery as you you feel your way across the humps and grooves.
