Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Early season skiing near(ish) Zurich

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi SH!

I've got an excuse to be in Zurich for work in the middle of November, and looking at squeezing an early season ski trip in the weekend before. So I'm wondering if you lovely lot have recommendations of where would be good to go skiing/boarding nearby:

Considerations:
- Travel time/ease of getting there on the Friday (from London) and to Zurich on the Monday (in time for afternoon meetings).
- Likelihood of actually having any snow there
- Variety of slopes
- Variety of apres
- €€€
- Anything else I should be aware of...?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions/comments snowHead

Engelberg and Andermatt should both be open for weekend skiing in mid-November.

Is that just the Glacier? How good is the ski area that's likely to be open?

For the ten years I lived there Engelberg opening was limited to the glacier in the Oct-Nov period, then would shut down completely for ten days for revisions in mid-November, before the winter season started in the last week of Nov. After that they would open as much as they could, usually down to Stand and possibly Truebsee, pretty much everything before Christmas, but obviously varied snow cover from year to year.

Its going to be limited at that time of year. Engelberg Titlis is closest as others have said but I think last year we were still hiking around Traubsee at that time so skiing was up on the glacier.

Do you reckon Zermatt (or Cervinia side) is likely to be more open at that time of year?

Zermatt almost certain to be open unless we get an exceptionally mild autumn. World Cup race scheduled for 8th to 12th November. It was cancelled due to lack of snow last year mind you. On the other hand, Zermatt apres ski is always good, and year round. There are no guarantees these days.
