    The Terrain

    19 runs across 17.6 km of piste

    Imberg - Steibis offers 19 runs and 17.6 kilometres of piste between 859 metres and 1,338 metres, with a vertical of 479 metres. The grading is unusual for a small area, with 34% beginner, 28% intermediate and 38% advanced, and no expert runs. That makes it one of the more testing hills in this part of the Allgäu. Lifts lean heavily on drag technology, with nine T-bars alongside a gondola and a six-seater chair. The gondola climbs from the valley toward the Imberghaus, so the busiest stretches of terrain are quick to reach.

    Beginners are not neglected, with children's areas at both the valley and mountain stations and gentle slopes on the high plateau. A fun park offers some variety, and the steeper pistes give stronger skiers a genuine workout, particularly on the lower slopes. The mix suits families with a confident older sibling, groups of mixed ability and day-trippers from Oberstaufen or the Bodensee region. T-bars can be tiring for beginners, so younger children are better off sticking to the lifts on the easier sectors. Overall it is a lively regional ski area that punches above its size.

    When to visit Imberg - Steibis

    Imberg-Steibis typically operates from December through March, with the most consistent conditions in January and February. The resort benefits from substantial natural snowfall, averaging 3-4m annually, supplemented by strategic snowmaking on key runs. The predominantly north-facing slopes retain snow exceptionally well, often maintaining good skiing conditions well into March. The microclimate created by the surrounding mountains frequently delivers powder days when other nearby areas receive less favourable weather.

    Wolf Creek Opens on Halloween Weekend as Colorado’s Early Season Gathers Pace

    Colorado’s early-season dominoes keep falling. Arapahoe Basin opened on Wednesday, Keystone follows on Friday, and now Wolf Creek is joining in on Saturday 31 October, just in time for Halloween. A storm on 23 and 24 October left 20 inches of natural snow in the San Juans, and three lifts will turn from 9:00 am, covering about 30% of the mountain. Expect rocks, unmarked obstacles and open water, but also Local Appreciation lift tickets at $73 for adults.

Last year the order was reversed, when Keystone squeezed in a three-hour afternoon session to beat A-Basin by a day. Snowmaking has been running since 15 October.

    Beaver Creek Installs 16 Automated Snow Guns on Birds of Prey Ahead of Record World Cup

    Beaver Creek is getting ready for the biggest Birds of Prey ever, and this time it is not leaving the snow to chance. Crews started making snow on 27 October with 16 newly installed automated guns on the lower third of the course, after last December’s warm spell forced a downhill off the schedule. Seven races across two weekends run from 3 to 13 December, the most the course has hosted since its 1997 debut, and the guns start themselves whenever the weather allows.

    Sulden am Ortler has called off its 31 October opening. The South Tyrol ski area has pushed its 2026/27 start back to Saturday 7 November, citing current weather and snow conditions and saying it will use the extra week to get the slopes in the best possible shape.

River Radamus charged from 15th to fourth on a rutted course, and Britain’s Freddy Carrick-Smith banked his first World Cup points. Braathen still hasn’t lost a giant slalom since Olympic gold.
