saas fee has upper slopes open throughout the autumn, as does les 2 alpes, alpe duez(sp), pretty much anywhere with a glacier will have skiing in the autumn..

Les 2 Alpes has the Mondial du Ski usually in Oct/Nov on their glacier. If you travel a bit further east into Austria/Germany, they tend to have great parks set up on their glaciers at that time of year.

There's several glacier's in Europe that are really good:
- Led Deux Alps - FR
- Alpe D'Huez - FR
- Chamonix - FR
- Saas Fee - CH
- Laax - CH
- Kitzsteinhorn - AT
- Hintertux - AT

There's enough to choose from. Apart from Chamonix (or at least I don't know about Cham) they all have pretty nice parks.

I've been to Hintertux, l2a and Kitzsteinhorn, and I'd prefer Kitzsteinhorn.
