Snow Park Mellow Park on the Kitzsteinhorn above Kaprun opens.




The Mellow Park ski park on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier above Kaprun opens its doors for  the "White  out"  of  the  official  ski  season in Kaprun,  this normally  takes place around the  first or second weekend  in November.  With  the benefit  of  the glacier the  start  of  the ski season is  almost guaranteed.

Planet snow  along  with other weather forecasts  can give  a good  prediction of  snow conditions  With reports of snow "Snow looking Pretty good" across Europe, it sets a white back cloth to build on.

Planet Ski reports that RyanAir is offering a free ski transfer with flights booked over the next few days. Looks like an extra incentive to get that ski holiday booked?
