...the Tirol sent a film crew to the Kaunertal Opening on Sunday and made this video snow report...
What perfect timing for the 28th Kaunertal Opening, after more than half a metre of snow fell in parts of Tirol within a 24 hour period.
While some of the best snowboarders and freeskiers showed off their tricks during the Contest in the Snowpark Kaunertal, other skiers were able to carve their first turns undisturbed on the wide glacier pistes and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. The other glacier ski areas in Tirol have also opened for the ski season.
