Can you ski Geneva in November?

I'm looking to go to Geneva in mid to late November (I might be able to go in December or January, but November looks best for my schedule) and would like to ski the Alps if possible. I'm unfamiliar with the weather there and wether or not skiing is even available then in that area. Any help? Thanks.

The glacier at Tignes reopens early October. A little over 2.5 hours by
car, approx. You will only find glacier skiing at that time of year,
most winter seasons proper don't begin until mid-December.

Val'dIsere opened on around 28th November last year and, I presume, they
will do the same this year. Whether they have any snow is in the lap of
the gods!

Both of those can be awkward to get to by public transport, so in case
you won't have a car, you could also try the glaciers at Les Diablerets
or Montfort (Verbier).

http://www.verbier.ch/ (Verbier haven't announced the winter open date
yet, but I seem to remember from previous years that in good conditions
it can be early).

However, it appears that Diablerets is not open for skiers this summer -
anyone know why? Is it shortage of snow?

The company that operated Les Diabs went bankrupt earlier this year, no
summer skiing as a result.
