Check the FIS calendar, you may catch the first womens race at that time in Solden.
yes, in fact, they've sent the calender out already of course, Sölden is 25/26 October and there's mens and womens GS. It'll be busy though :!:
Yeah i'd imagine it would be packed!! I remember watching it last year and they had heavy snow and quite strong winds, they were struggling to get a decent speed in the thick fresh snow and wind in their faces :lol:
That's not how it normally works, on glaciers we need the snow of the winter to make it safe and fill the holes in. There's always more open in spring than the autumn. By summer it's melted somewhat, hence spring skiing isn't summer skiing and neither are quite the same as it'll be in the autumn.
It is a great time to ski on glacier though, the colder temperatures keep the snow better longer, although not much terrain opens it's nicer with some snow on the top and the autumn colours in the valley are great with a clear light to enjoy them.

Tux is open all year round, in the summer it ios limited to aboyt 18km of runs. In spring there was nearly 80km open (May) so I am assuming October and November will be similar.
Incidentally, I was snowboarding in Germany the first week in November last year, at fairly low altitude. http://en.feldberg-schwarzwald.de/
