Immenstadt offers a delightful Allgäu skiing experience with 6km of well-groomed slopes catering primarily to families and intermediate skiers. This accessible resort combines excellent learning terrain with several more challenging runs, all set against spectacular mountain backdrops. The uncrowded pistes and authentic Bavarian character make Immenstadt an excellent choice for those seeking quality skiing experiences without traveling to larger, busier destinations.
Immenstadt's Mittag ski mountain stretches from 750 metres to 1,416 metres, a vertical of 666 metres, with 10 runs and nine kilometres of piste. The grading is 11% beginner, 67% intermediate and 22% advanced, with no expert terrain, so the slope profile leans toward moderate to steep. Two double chairlifts handle uphill transport on a long, slow ride, and the lack of surface lifts makes this a very simple setup. It is a quiet, locals-oriented mountain on the edge of the Allgäu, well away from the bigger names in the region.
Beginners are not well served here, since only a small share of the terrain is easy, and anyone new to skiing will be better off at one of the nearby family areas. Intermediates and better skiers get the most from the slopes, which carry a decent vertical for a hill of this size. The mountain also draws tobogganers and ski tourers, who use the same chairlifts to reach the summit. Check current grooming and lift status before travelling, because operations here are modest and conditions depend on the season. It suits skiers wanting a quiet, no-frills day away from the crowds.
Immenstadt typically operates from December through March, with the most reliable conditions in January and February. The resort benefits from its position in the snowy Allgäu region, receiving substantial natural snowfall supplemented by strategic snowmaking on key runs. The predominantly north-facing slopes maintain good snow quality throughout the season, often preserving excellent conditions when lower areas struggle with thawing. The relaxed atmosphere makes it particularly appealing during busy holiday periods when larger resorts face overcrowding.
Daily snow reports at Immenstadt go back to 2025, 3 winters on the books. Open the record to compare winters, lifts and piste.

The Val Gardena-Alpe di Siusi lift link isn’t dead after all. A South Tyrol court has overturned Santa Cristina’s rejection of the new Monte Pana-Saltria link on procedural grounds, after the council skipped required public information sessions. Opponents want the missing sessions held and a fresh vote, and nothing has been approved. For now it’s still a bus between the two, but a plan first floated in 2017 is back in the conversation.

A section of Whistler Peak terrain will stay closed all 2026-27 season, Vail Resorts has confirmed, with rockslide mitigation work continuing into summer 2027. Peak Express is still expected to run this winter, but locals are already arguing about what’s actually off limits, whether the Whistler Bowl is gone, and why the news landed after pass sales wound down. Here’s where things stand.

Loveland is open. The Colorado ski area started Chet’s Dream turning on Saturday 7 November to kick off 2026-27, with $60 adult lift tickets to mark 60 years of snowmaking. Expect three runs, nearly 1,000 vertical feet (about 300 metres) of top-to-bottom skiing, live music on the Basin Patio and no beginner terrain yet. Here’s what’s open, what it costs and when Loveland Valley follows.

Fried chicken is heading up the Dolomites. From 5 December KFC will run two restaurants on the slopes - one at 2,123 metres at Cortina, one at 1,700 metres at Madonna di Campiglio - and the polenta-and-canederli crowd has opinions. Local politicians, conservation groups and plenty of Facebook commenters are calling it a step too far, while others just want a cheaper lunch. Here’s what’s on the menu and what’s the fuss.

Mt Rose is going for the first-in-Tahoe title, with the Lakeview Express due to spin at 9 a.m. on Friday, November 6. One main lift, three runs and plenty of snowmaking, sitting on the highest base elevation in the region at 8,260 ft. Here is what is open, what is not (sorry, tubing fans), and how the early North American openings are stacking up.

Europe has had a quiet start to November, but our 10-day forecast has Serre Chevalier on 82 cm and Les 2 Alpes on 71 cm. Two pushes are lined up: a western Alps top-up from Friday, then a bigger, wider system on Thursday, November 12 and Friday, November 13 that reaches Italy and Switzerland. Full leaderboard inside.

Mammoth just moved opening day forward to Thursday, November 5, eight days ahead of schedule. A snowy weekend and cold snowmaking nights did the work, and our forecast shows up to 33 inches more landing on November 13 and 14. Here is what opens, what the weather looks like and where Mammoth sits among the early Ikon Pass openers.

Rain down low, snow up high, and a snow report full of zeros that mostly means ‘not updated yet’. Utah’s first proper storm of 2026-27 is rolling through the Wasatch, Snowbird’s snow stake is closing in on 10 inches, and Brian Head is five days from opening day. Early November snow rarely looks like much, but it is the layer every November opening date is built on. Here is where it stands.
