Unless you are longing to cross some high mountain passes then snow isn't much of a problem, if the forecasts are particularly bad (unlikely) then the motorways are always kept clear. You can cross from Salzburg to Villach through central Austria in about 2 hours, and from there down to Italy. (Best route if you're heading towards Venice)
Same goes for the Brenner pass, although you can easily avoid the motorway if you want. Just head straight south from Muenchen to Innsbruck then head towards Verona. The Alps aren't a big deal at all.
