Great news for the glacier and it should provide a decent base for this winter. Here's hoping for plenty more white stuff this winter

Other places:
Stubaier Gletscher: 30cm
Engelberg: 187cm - Was yesterday is outdated I think
Garmisch: 140cm - Think that's outdated too...
Best conditions look to be Zell am See at the moment...

it sounds great, but surely even normal September/October temperatures would melt a lot of it?

The snow lower down will almost certainly melt but up on the glacier at over 3000m high the temps could remain a little above freezing during the day and below zero at night. What fell recently could form the base for the winter season.

Holding on to 40% of early/mid-Sept. snow is pretty damn good, I'd say. And heavy snow is forecasted from tomorrow on.

kitenski,
We don't talk about last years snowfall, we are trying to forget it 
Can't remember exact figures but it was pretty similar, over 1m base on the glacier in Oct is good. After that it's not so much how much base but when was the last significant fresh fall of snow.
Hintertux and Sölden look as though they are going to see significant snowfall too (20cm+) in the next few days.

From experience they generally open up more lifts after the official opening (mid Nov see my last post). I'd expect most if not all lifts above the Alpine centre to be open from this date.

Friends returned from Kaprun. Plenty of fresh snow. More snow than piste machines can handle. It was like skiing off-piste on the pistes, 40-50cm deep ungroomed snow.
