The Alps Are Getting Hammered

by The Editors on January 10, 2012

Snow 2105363BA snow storm that dumped 10 feet of snow in 48 hours has blocked off entire sections of the alps according to a story in the Telegraph. And it is supposed to keep snowing for the rest of the week.

In Ischgl, nearly 1,000 British tourists are ‘trapped’, while one Russian visitor reportedly managed to leave the resort by helicopter. . . Many huge trees have collapsed under the weight of the snow, further complicating road clearances.

The good news is that with all the roads closed all the new snow is out of reach for anyone who isn’t there. Get ready for some good footage to be coming out of Austria.
