orangutan, once you've got yourself to a Swiss airport or railhead you'll be looking at a standard Swiss Transfer railfare of around 50 quid to and from the resort. Stay in a youth hostel for best value - maybe £20 to £25 per night including an evening meal.
France could be cheaper. Other places like Italy, Spain, Andorra certainly are. Austria's good for bed and breakfast places. Share with mates in a cheap self-catering flat in a good French resort for low cost and good value (I shared with 22 others in a 6-bed flat once). That's one reason why France is so popular. Your main extra is obviously the liftpass, but that'll only be a bit more than Scotland - especially on a daily share of a 6-day pass.
Hope some snow sticks to the Scottish hills soon. It's got to happen.

We were in a B&B in verbier at Christmas it was around 25 pound per night per person - have a look on the Chalets forum.
We stayed in a Hotel in Saas Fee the Europa which was around 20 quid a night including breakfast.
Depends on what you are looking for............apart from snow ??

IF you go to Saas Fee, Nesti's bar now understands - Aberdonian - then go to the club poison until around 5.30am, get up at 11am and enjoy the afternoon - you can board down on nice red black runns from 3500m down to 1800m
The guy that organised the trip this time has just booked the 2 chalets for the same time next year, the chalets cost 700 quid per week and sleep 9.

I have a friend in Aberdeen and I cannot understand him at all on the phone. I think I should go and buy an Aberdeen phrase book!
