"Once-in-a-generation" weather has left the French Alps ski resort of Tignes under more than two metres of snow.

A British snowboarder went missing from the resort on Sunday (January 7).

In video filmed on Monday, one man attempts to clear a huge pile of snow with a shovel.

According to the filmer, as much as 180cm fell in 48 hours.

The filmer works for a ski school in the mountain resort.
