Seen this in the Mail this morning. Seems sensational to me, especially as it is not reported here the centre of all information?

"European ski resorts in 'lockdown' after freak snowfalls cut road, rail and air links across the Alps with tourists told to stay inside"

Good old british press!! At least the locals out there are doing something about it! If we have 5cm everything comes to a grinding halt but they can be forgiven with 10ft in 4 days
See you on the piste!!!

I know Ischgl is cut off with police guarding the roads so no traffic leaves, due to high avalanche risks. Not heard about much else apart from some closed roads in 3 valleys for the same reasons.
Its typical British press being sensationalist as usual.

Do go on Tony, but remember this forum is in the public domain and the press hasn't won a libel case for a while!
