Default Sella Ronda - Pre season opening

From what I have been told by local tourist offices, the Sella Ronda circuit
is typically open by the time of the Italian public holiday at the beginning
of December. Does anyone have any practical knowledge of this?

My brother went skiing in Canazei over Christmas . All the areas were open but
if your question was can I do the circuit then that year the answer was no. The
Sella Ronda routes have several low points that may prevent skiing across them.

In general the Tyrol and its italian part are more reliable for early skiing
than the french alps. As ever the weather is a random thing and it may not be
true in a carefully/carelessly chosen year.

Thank you, I am trying to make my mind up between making an early booking,
or leaving everything to the last minute. The most practical way of getting
there is to take the Easyjet flight to Innsbruck and then hire a car. The
risk is that there are no seats left on the plane, or the price goes up to
much. We had quite a successful early holiday last December in Val Thorens.
The links to the rest of the three valleys were opened the day we arrived!
