Something not quite right about this article.  I'm sure I've seen the photo of the road quite some time back, as in at least a year ago. 

Edit:  ...but you're right, it is stunning. :y

It is truly remarkable how its standing like that. It just doesn't look real.

Excellent! I'm off to French Alps snowboarding in a couple of weeks, they are also reporting loads of snow, lots of fresh powder  8)

They are having very heavy snowfall in Alaska too. Couple of places on TV this a.m. 

No doubt the Austrians will, with Teutonic efficiency, have the surplus snow shifted in a jiffy
