Perfect storm Karl dropped around 20-80 cm (locally even a meter) of snow in the Alps. And there’s more snow in the forecast for this weekend! After the first publication on September 20th and the second publication on October 25th this is the latest update of the resorts that already have their lifts running. Almost all glacier resorts are open and more and more resorts without a glacier are opening their lifts. The lifts are running in 31 ski resorts already and about 30 or so will open their lifts this month. Check out the list below! Always check the dates on the websites of the ski resorts and remember: the season just started! The snow cover is still thin, so my advice would be to stick to the slopes and avoid early season injuries.

Nice list. Some other resorts may be added.

Nog een kleine toevoeging voor Silvretta Montafon(gisteren de eerste meters gemaakt). Het is open maar let op, tot 2 december is er maar een beperkt deel open en alleen in de weekenden. Op 2 december is de officiële opening en zullen de andere pistes ook openen.
