The only place you'll get guarenteed snow in early september is on a glacier, and although not an expert activity it is a different kettle of fish from your normal week in a ski resort. European ski resorts generally start opening around beginning of December and in the past few years snow at that time has been a bit whimsical!
Did you really mean September?

Sölden would be a good bet I guess, there's not going to be a huge amount of skiing anywhere but it will be guaranteed snow and some night life.
Les Arcs won't be open and I'm not sure when Tignes is open this summer.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Why not just wait and go in winter?

You'll need to Register first of course.

If you really mean September then forget about Les Arcs. Tignes used to offer skiing 365 days per year and I've skied there in Summer, but recently they haven't had great conditions compared to the Austrian summer ski areas. I've also summer skied in Zermatt and Saas Fee and was in Hintertux in October where we had foul Scottish type weather but the snow was fine. I'd go to Kaprun or Hintertux.

SFayers, I asked the same question last year under the title "Summer Snow" or something like that. Why not do a search and find the thread.

Yeah September's about the worst month - winter snows not yet arrived and the glaciers have had all summer to melt. If you do go nightlife is likely to be quiet as there won't be many other people about - hold on until winter if you can.
