Ski areas in the Alps have reported up to half-a-metre of snowfall on high slopes in the past 24 hours.

Although it's far too early to say that we're looking at a great start to the main season, still more than two months' away, this latest snowfall, coming after even bigger falls in mid-September, has certainly raised spirits.

Italy's Passo Stelvio, one of 10 glacier ski areas that have already opened for their 24-25 season in Austria, Italy and Switzerland is pictured top this morning after reporting 40cm of snowfall.

Austria's Schladming, due to start its season in late November, is pictured above.

Now we just need it to stay cold and keep snowing for the next 2-6 months.
