Maybe. I've heard Chamonox is pretty good for powder, only takes an hour to drive.

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

powderhound23, I think parlor, is pulling your plonker! Verbier is full of H2O based powder. Long time since I've been there but I remember the runs from the top of Mt Gele were fun

powderhound23, who are you working for?
I wouldn't worry about doing too much research, most of the best days powder skiing I've had in Verbier have been unplanned meetings with friends on the lift and then off you go. Conditions vary and whilst you can have fantastic snow in one part of the valley and crappy stuff elsewhere. Local knowledge is the key and as you get to know more people in town you'll get to ski the good stuff.
Bars - if you are there for the season you'll probably spend plenty of time in the Pub Mont Fort, Fer a Cheval, T Bar, Farinet etc, etc. Depends on what you are into and what the budget is.

The pow in Verbier gets skied out in hours. Everyone, even the gash ones, becomes a powder hero. First lift is vital.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

No doubt the obvious stuff goes very quick on a powder day.
However there are plenty other lesser known spots in the 4 valleys that don't skied so often.
Especially if your prepared to hike 10 or 20 minutes off the lifts.
It just wouldn't be the game to say exactly where on the t'interweb.

You know it makes sense.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Im working for a small chalet company as a driver the job sounds pretty good i think and perhaps i will have transport to get to other places for some powder if necessary.
