Snow Farming at Hintertux

The recent snow at Hintertux meant skiing on Saturday was great!  The snow was in good condition, though the odd patch of glacier ice caught out the unwary.
The piste machines were busy making pretty patterns.  I can only guess, but presumably they were “farming” the snow – moving it to where it is most needed, consolidating it so it stays for longer and stockpiling it for later.
Whatever the reason, it makes for interesting textures in the photo!
