Two men shovel snow off the roof of their apartment bloc following heavy snowfall in the French Alps ski resort of Tignes.

"We were stuck on a bus in Tignes between Le Lavachet and Le Lac due to 1.8 metres of snowfall, the most in 30 years, when we noticed these two crazy guys shovelling snow off the roof," writes the filmer.

A British snowboarder went missing from the resort of Tignes on Sunday (January 7) after a "once-in-a-generation" snowfall hit the Alps.
