Winter Begins Now: First lifts, fresh snow, and early signs of a classic season

  From glacier powder in Europe to fresh snow in Alaska, the 2025/26 season is underway.

​Winter Begins Now Fresh snow, first lifts, and the  early signs of a classic season ahead   The leaves are turning, the air is crisp, and the chairlifts are starting to spin—welcome back to the Northern Hemisphere winter!    After cheering on our Southern Hemisphere friends—Australia just wrapped one of its best seasons this century—all eyes now turn to the promise of the 2025/26 ski season. Early signals are encouraging, pointing to the possibility of a colder, snowier winter for many key regions.   Why We're Optimistic Many meteorological centres are tracking a developing weak La Niña pattern, alongside strong early snowpack in the Arctic and Siberia.    Historically, this setup often tips the odds toward above-average snowfall and colder conditions across northern North America and parts of northern Europe. While it's too soon for guarantees, the global signals suggest the potential for a memorable "old-school" winter.   Where the Snow is Falling You don't have to wait for December—the season has already begun. Our latest Snow News confirms that glacier resorts are delivering excellent early-season conditions. Hintertux is 50% open with powder skiing, while Saas Fee boasts up to 140 cm of packed powder.    More openings are expected this week, including Mölltal Glacier and Kaprun (Kitzsteinhorn). Over in the US, the Alaska mountains report 9" of fresh snow. We'll be tracking it all in our weekly Snow Roundups.    Wax your skis and boards—winter is here.   What's New in the Snow App   iOS Snow Widgets – Get the essentials for your favourite resorts right on your home screen.
