i live just near tignes and i can tell u that in november u won't have winter conditions...
just the glacier will be open, with a poor park and maybe 5 to 10 flatty slopes...
but it the only one resort open in france in november, cause we have no snow now...
if u are in france between 31 october and 3 november go to les 2 Alpes, this is the mondial du ski, big event to test ski and see pros like thovex, tanner hall, the canadians and lot of french and europeans riders

It snowed 40 cm in tignes last week but its all melting!

Its a cool place but snow comes later in Europe (think start of December) Many of the slope are also rocky because it is so high above the treeline and vegetation does not grow so you need a good base before you can ski it

mountains become a vast play-ground.

Tignes is THE SHIT !!
How long are you going to be there for?
The conditions will be awful at that time of year, but if you're staying for a while it will get good by the end of December.
