Zermatt is easy to get to grom Geneva by train, it has a good snow record.

rayscoops, have you considered http://www.mountainsunltd.com/ ? Popular with sH as you know, reasonaby priced and particularly convenient as HB and transfers included Dunno about availability in Tignes but Les Coches (La Plagne) is still available.

beanie1, Not decided yet and have already been to lots of places from Geneva which is causing me the problem in deciding. The new problem is that my flight is with BA and they are likely to be on strike by then
slikedges, yes that is an option plus some of the other kind snowheads who have businesses in the region.
Perhaps it is time I head to Zermatt because I have been putting it off for years now, or maybe some other Swiss resort like Villars

rayscoops, how about Les Arcs? I think it's more snowboarder friendly than La Plagne in terms of flattish sections and drags. Having said that though the flats bits aren't much of a problem if you hit them at speed and you can avoid the drag lifts unless you like the snowpark. Anyway there's a couple of helpful rope tows on some of them apart from the Tunnel run but it's no great problem. Both have tons of off-piste and there's plenty at La Plagne in between pistes. When I was there last April, one run - Inversens - was left ungroomed after a good 18 inch dump for what the sign at the top called "Puff Training" - excellent fun but unfortunately served by a really slow 2 man chair.

rayscoops, Zermatt without question. Easy from Geneva and a must do resort. I went to Zermatt on a day trip many years ago on a summer holiday from Italy before I was a skier and wondered about the skiers going up in the lift with us. After getting into skiing I always vowed that I would go back one day.
I finally went there a few years back and it didn't disappoint and I've been back since. If you are into really good mountain restaurants then Chez Vrony and the Sum Zee are not to be missed. Skiing into Cervinia is also a must but I wouldn't get the full pass covering Cervinia, as the lifts are sometimes closed due to winds etc and it's easier to pay the supplement on the day if conditions are good.
