The weekend snow storms across the Alps have started to add up to some significant number, heaviest in the west.
Accumulations of around 75cm on high slopes over three days from Friday to Sunday were reported by a number of French resorts including Val d'Isere and Val Thorens.
Val Thorens is also the only resort to have posted more than a metre (105cm) of snowfall over four days.
It's not only French ski areas though, Italy's Madonna di Campiglio has posted 72cm of snowfall over 72 hours, with Austria's Stubai glacier posting 65cm in the same period. In Switzerland Verbier posted 50cm over the weekend.
Most areas have seen at least 30cm (a foot) of snowfall.
It's now turning drier and sunnier from the west before snowfall is expected to return at the weekend.
