The Terrain
15 runs across 23 km of piste
Malbun is a small, friendly ski area in Liechtenstein, with 15 runs and 23 kilometres of piste between 1,474 metres and 1,991 metres, a vertical of 517 metres. The grading is 48% beginner, 39% intermediate and 13% advanced, with no expert-rated runs, so it leans towards easy and moderate cruising. Eight lifts serve the terrain, including a six-seater chair, two quad chairs, three surface lifts and two T-bars. The lifts are modern enough that you spend your time skiing rather than queuing, and the compact layout makes the mountain easy to learn quickly.
The Täli chairlift anchors the area, and the Haita run from its top station is the longest descent at around 4 kilometres, finishing through the village. Sareis and Hochegg open up the intermediate slopes, while the Sareiserjoch area holds the steepest pistes and the Renn race slope offers a short, sharp test. A funpark adds variety for snowboarders and freestylers, and there is some modest off-piste when conditions allow. Malbun suits families, beginners and intermediates, and it works well as a relaxed day trip from the Rhine Valley or eastern Switzerland. Advanced skiers will want to look elsewhere.

Utah Snow Storm Builds Early-Season Base Ahead of November Openings
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.

Sierra Nevada Halloween Storm: Dodge Ridge Forecast to Lead With 19 Inches
Halloween weekend brings a wet, windy storm to the Sierra Nevada.

Opening-day tickets are over 60% off, with prices rising as more lifts open. First chair is at 9:30 am under the resort’s new lift hours.

Kitzbüheler Horn Summit Cable Car to Be Replaced After 70 Years
A Tyrolean summit lift that has been carrying guests up the Kitzbüheler Horn since 1955 is on borrowed time. Its licence runs to 2045, but a new inspection rule has made refurbishment uneconomic, so Bergbahn AG Kitzbühel will spend around €15 million on a replacement on the same line. It should hold roughly 100 people and keep running in winds that would stop today’s lift. Building starts in autumn 2027, which makes this winter and next summer the last chances to ride the old one.
