Not sure when but ruka (Finland) has a way to preserve snow and opens pretty early

The park on the Hintertux Glacier usually opens at the end of September/start of October.

I've been the last few years and it's been a good set-up. The weather is problem though as its regularly cloudy, snowy, rainy, whiteout.

Well most glaciers in Europe will most likely have opened by that time.

Hintertux: Average park, medium crowded.

Stubai: High quality park, insanely crowded.

Kaunertal: Very good for jibs, medium crowded.

Dachstein: Very good for jibs, crowded on the weekends.

Kitzsteinhorn: Good allround park, not huge. Not sure about crowds.

Saas-Fee: Good for big jumps, expensive, not sure about crowds.

Dunno if Zermatt is open by then.

In france you also have Tignes, but haven't been there in 10 years.

Les 2 Alpes is good, but not sure they're open at that point yet.

There are other glaciers, these are the ones I know about.
