Poster: A snowHead

verbier or megeve or any resort within 2hrs of geneva (not chamonix) for a long weekend late january /early feb
my instinct is to plump for verbier ?
5 thirty somethings require large varied ski area
central accomodation
good food
wine/beer
plenty of nightlife
we only get let off the leash once ayear so need to make the most of it.
st anton looks good too but not easy to get (long drive time) to for a short break from manchester area??
have you found the perfect resort for this type of trip

hedley, megeve has really pretty ski terrain and that time of the winter should be ideal to ski it. Its skiing is a lot easier than much of Verbier's. Verbier has great runs, some difficult ones, and is famous for off-piste.
Can't say which would be best for you without knowing a bit more about the group.
My guess is that Megeve would be easier for weekend accommodation.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

all 10yrs plus experience so can tackle pretty much anything but serious off piste,tend to like the traditional alpine resorts rather than purpose built ones although i am willing to be told otherwise.
is cormayeur another option or too far maybe?

No, Courmayeur would be great. Lots of evening fun, nice old village, fine intermediate skiing (primarily), and the opportunity to ski the Vallee Blanche to Chamonix (though that might be ambitious for a w/end)
Up to the Mont Blanc tunnel from Geneva, through the tunnel and you're there. Maybe 90 mins. Turin might be a good airport, too.
As for Verbier -v- Megeve, my instinct would be Megeve. Verbier deserves a full week, really. Megeve would be uncomplicated and relaxed for a weekend.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
