Best Answer

One can easily ski in September in the Andes (for example, at Portillo) or in New Zealand. As for the Northern Hemisphere, when September would be late summer, the answer varies. Sometimes, snow lasts into September at very high altitude ski areas with glacial fields, such as Mt. Hood or Colorado's Arapahoe Basin. More often, new snow for the new season has arrived in time for some un-lifted skiing on snow fields in the high Rockies; "un-lifted" being that one needs to hike up the snow field. Rarely is there enough skier interest to make it affordable to keep as staff around to run the lifts. Un-lifted skiing can also be practiced sometimes in Scandinavia, Austria, or Switzerland, though lately this has been increasingly rare. Especially in the Alps, the glaciers are shrinking.

All the resorts that have a glacier are open in September. There are several of them in both France and Austria.
