I live close and can guarantee you that October is far too early

However, skiing is possible all year round on the glacier (for example Glacier 3000, which is as the name says at 3000 altitude) or take other resorts with a glacier. Verbier will not be open for skiing at all around that time, though it has high altitudes.

Note: this year the season started relatively late in december, the year before it started earlier in november (but we had bad conditions soon after). I.e. October is really a big gamble

You might have better luck if you stay in Italy, go to the Sud-Tirol area in Dolomiti depending on where you will be staying this is only a few hours drive from Milan
