While Resorts in the Western US are blowing snow to open on time, many resorts in the Alps and Pyrenees are expecting huge snowstorms to bring feet of snow over the weekend.  So far fall snowstorms have broken records for snowfall in the Alps this season. Early December storms in the Alps as well the Pyrenees have many resorts expecting a couple of feet of snow over the weekend. Some areas expect as much as 40″ of snow, while others a foot or two. Here are some recent photos and expected snowfall from a handful of resorts:
