Snow reports don't typically go viral, but a recent segment posted to Twitter by a ski resort in Pennsylvania, USA has garnered a lot of attention.

In the seemingly normal report, Seven Springs resort's Abbey Way delivers a rundown of the snow as a skier can be seen in the background, seriously struggling to navigate down a set of icy stairs.

Dressed head-to-toe in ski gear, the woman continues to struggle, falling multiple times before the snow report ends.

When pressed about whether the incident was staged, Mosier relented, saying, "We've been trying to do something a little different this year with something humorous going on in the background … trying to make it a little more interesting."

"Abbey doesn't usually even know what's going on behind her."

In a follow-up video, Seven Springs took the joke one step further and brought the struggling skier, who they dubbed "Mrs Bean", onto the show for an interview.
