I've got a free magazine, i got last season (manifesto) and one of their 2 page stories/articles is the best places to go for autumn shred in europe. Its still summer glacier park in october as they hold the snowboard world cup around the beginning of november so play off the glacier being at 3,600m to save them having to harvest a solid amount of snow for a serious pipe/park. If you are looking just to do some autumn shred i can give you a run down of the article and where it says.

for mid october the places which the article picks out for being the best for park are, in no particular orderTignes- glacier park, not top choice but park set up improving (not sure how it is, had mixed reviews from friends last season.)
Deux Alps- glacier, Awesome park set up with a solid rail set up, jump lines and pipe (says it re-opened on the 22nd and then they swapped to the winter park start of nov, couldnt find a date for glacier park closing on their site)
Hintertux- probably the favourite of the glacier parks with pipe, "three kicker pro line" (probably a bunch of other stuff) opens at the end of sept
Kauntertal- opens mid october (so possibly hit or miss depending on weather) decent park set up but finding accomodation is supposedly hard.
Les Diablerets- Good balanced park for all/most levels but doesnt open til the 9th of Nov.
Zermatt-Carvinia-n Glacier park, largest skiable area, pipe and rails being best features, most likely re-opening late october depending on conditions.
Val Senales- 120,000 sqaure metre park, small general ski area open, all levels well catered for in set up, opens around 10th Oct.
Dachstein- Small glacier are but almost completely park , some of the best shaped features around, amazing backdrop for getting shots, opening mid to end of october (look on their website really)
thats a paraphrasing of the article it has a little accomodation advice which i dint completely include but if any took a serious fancy i can do a word for word of the piece on the resort.
