Dry fortnight, with wind and sharper cold arriving in early November
The fortnight should be mostly dry, with only small totals. The most is 5.5 cm at Klausberg in the Dolomites and Trentino-Alto Adige, though the Western Alps edge ahead as a zone. Wind is the biggest impact, with gusts likely to reach 104 km/h on Tuesday 3 Nov, when lifts may close. The sharpest cold follows on Wednesday 4 Nov, feeling like -18°C at Monterosa Ski. Confidence is moderate overall.
Monday 9 Nov could bring the best snow, with La Thuile on 3.6 cm, though confidence is low.
Western Alps lead, with La Thuile and Courmayeur; Klausberg tops the Dolomites and Trentino-Alto Adige.

The fortnight should stay dry for most of its length, with no meaningful snow days. The Western Alps are slightly favoured, and no zone misses out entirely, but the amounts are small. Klausberg has the top total at 5.5 cm, followed by La Thuile at 3.6 cm and Courmayeur at 3.4 cm. The best chance of a dusting falls on Monday 9 Nov, and confidence in that is low, so treat it as something to watch rather than plan around.
Typical highs of 4°C and lows of -3°C should feel like late autumn in the mountains. The freezing level is likely to swing widely, from 1,270 m up to 3,970 m. Rain could mix in at resorts whose listed elevation is below the freezing level, such as Sangiacomo Cardini, Folgaria Fiorentini and Piani di Bobbio.
Wind is the main story. A north-westerly flow should build through the period, with gusts of 79 km/h on Friday 30 Oct and 81 km/h on Sunday 1 Nov before the peak of 104 km/h on Tuesday 3 Nov. Lifts may close on the windiest days, and visibility is likely to be poor. The cold then bites, and it should feel like -18°C at Monterosa Ski on Wednesday 4 Nov.
Total forecast snow across the whole fortnight. Later days are less certain, so treat the order as a guide.
Forecast snow, all 14 days added together.
1 resort, Schnalstal Glacier, is in season on its scheduled dates, and no openings are scheduled in the next 14 days. The next opening after that is Cortina d’Ampezzo, scheduled to open on 21 Nov. "In season" is the resort's scheduled calendar, not a live lift report.
1 of 45 resorts are inside their scheduled season. This is the calendar, not a live lift report.
Lift counts are from each resort's latest snow report check.
Snowfall and freezing levels are forecast at upper-mountain points for each resort, so real totals can differ where terrain lifts or shelters the weather. Treat figures as a guide to timing and scale, and check each resort's own page before you travel.
SnowStash calculates every figure from its own forecast data. The wording is drafted with AI from those figures and checked before publishing, with this edition reviewed by Michael Fulton.
