I am looking for a weekend away this coming weekend. Anyone know where there is any snow in Europe or am I being horribly optimistic??!!

Samski, Tignes glacier...I assume it's open?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Samski, Currently I think Sass Fee looks the best with Zermatt in second place, also there is some skiing in Italy at Passo Tonale, France at Tignes and all the Austrian glaciers look good

Off there in the morning (Tignes), yes it's open - cover could be better but there was some snow last weekend.
Otherwise there's Kaprun, Saas Fee, Zermatt, Les Diabs (weekends only?), Obergurgl (opens 17th?).

We had snow above 1300m over the weekend here. Hintertux is claiming that the have good conditions right now, with all lifts open on the glacier. That's probably the best place in Austria right now!

A week ago, I had this report from the SCGB. It would seem that Austria was better placed at the time.
Ski Club Snow Reports
You know winter is truly on its way when the Ski Club Winter Snow Reports commence.
It's very early in the season, so only a small number of resorts are open for skiing & boarding, but the news on the grapevine is that it's going to be a 'brutal' winter with lots of snow! We'll be reporting on the snow conditions on Mondays & Thursdays until 21 November, when the daily snow reports will start. sponsored by:
Resorts Open:
AUSTRIA
Hintertux - 100cm snow, 13/20 lifts
Kaprun - 75 cm snow, 10/29 lifts
Kaunertal - 40cm snow, 5/8 lifts
Neustift - 70cm snow, 14/24 lifts
Piztal - 50cm snow, 7/7 lifts
Solden - 110cm snow, 9/34 lifts
FRANCE
Tignes - 30cm snow, 7/47 lifts
Les Deux Alpes (shut due to bad weather today)

Looking at the update for yesterday, it seems that Austria is still the best place to go.

Just one clarification, Les 2 Alpes has been shut anyway since last Tuesday, as it's the interseason there, in case anyone drops by thinking the weather might have improved!
Anyway that's my bit for the day, off to watch the BAST team train, it's a glorious morning here, and a slight frost too. About time!

Samski, conditions 'average' in Tignes today. Skiable, cold, but not a lot of snow and soon down to the ice in the limited areas set aside for free skiing.

It looks like it really needs a good dump to start the season.

You know it makes sense.

Looks like some snow forecast this weekend down to about 2200m.
