 Poster: A snowHead
|
hi, so my partner wasnt keen on teh accomodation at Wengen, so the search continues.... we have looked at a couple of options in Morzine, but we're a bit worried as its 1000m?? is it snow sure at that time of year? 
our other thoughta are to cross the pond and go to either USA or Canada??

boo22, Zermatt would tick the boxes for being both snowsure and picturesque.

boo22, too early for the Portes du Soleil resorts like Morzine to be described as 'snowsure'

boo22,
Agree that Zermatt ticks your boxes, as would Saas Fee and Lech. All are about as snowsure as it gets and really nice villages.

How bout Courmayeur? Already has excellent snow base. Last year the early season snow was awesome.

FAQ
But if you headed to a higher resort - for example Val Thorens - you'd be more sure of snow. But also more likely to have cold, windy, bleak and possibly white-out conditions. But from there you could at least head further down the valley. Depends what else is important to you, really. From Morzine you can reach Avoriaz, which is as high as anything round there, though it does get quite crowded at busy times if snow is rubbish lower down. But wherever you go, it'll beat sitting at home watching New Year telly.
