Zermatt-should have a decent amount of skiing open, including over to Cervinia. Pricey but gorgeous!

Val Thorens? Most French resorts won't be open till later.

yorkshirelad, I was in L2A and AdH in the second week of December last year, with excellent piste conditions (very little in the towns though, but that's good I think). Blue skies and sunshine too

under a new name, er...yes - there is the glacier. Anyway the OP asked about "fairly snow sure" not guaranteed. I have been to Tignes the first week in December for years - I have had too much snow more often than too little - it's a real risk at that time of year as I'm sure you know.

yorkshirelad, If you are going DIY and not through a tour operator, book your flight early (whilst it is cheap) to Geneva / Turin / Friedrichshafen / Munich and wait to see where the snow looks good before arranging your accommodation the week before you go. Hire a car to get to resort.
If you are using a TO rather than DIY, book your holiday off work and then wait until the week before you go to see where the snow looks good and see what last minute deals are on offer.

Will be doing DIY..not many TO run ski hoiidays till the 13th December, did my own DIY once to Solden, but flight got delayed, then changed to Munich so by the time i got to orgianl airport my pre-booked taxi had gone and i got charged for it 
did obergurgle on a DIY as well for Xmas a few years ago, great time then, not many bars open during the day at that time of year though...
Since then i've had two seperate days skiing there and realised how small it was, all easily done in the day, so not in a hurry to go back.

holidayloverxx, I know there's a glacier... but if that's all you have, it's a bit limited. And full of snotty nosed kids in catsuits.
In principle, sure, Tignes should be a good bet, but nothing's 100% is it...
