Should be open, unless there is some freaky weather.

Depends on what you want, for fantastic scenery and one of the highest roads in the alps with some crazy hairpins, the Stelvio is great.

It's not a great driving road however, very tight, severe hairpins with splitter threatening ramps (esp on the northern side) and lots of traffic and cyclists means you'll have miles more driving fun on more flowy, sighted quieter roads of which there are many all over Europe.

You might find snow...

It's an overrated pass in my opinion.
I strongly suggest Gotthard -> Furka -> Grimsel -> Susten.
You will remember me :-D
