Avoriaz is great terrain and full of boarders (pretty good ones aswell). Sauze d'oulx was pretty good although I have to confess to the nights being "pretty heavy" so may not remember too much. Sestriere had some decent runs (linked to Sauze). Know people who have been to Mayherhofen and rate it highly. Davos is interesting though.......

I liked snowboarding at Sauze - well the first time I did, the second time I went I broke my collar bone on the first turn on the first run of the first day.... 
But Les Arcs is pretty impressive for snowboarding, loads of wide and empty runs to get those all important turns in and avoid the ski schools. found that some of the runs in Sauze were completely taken over by ski schools which made things interesting!

Been to Sauze 3 times now i think and going again in Jan (not my choice but the organiser!). It's a great area, tons of wide pistes and lots of off piste to play in. It's also not been very horrendously busy when i've been - the lifts being slow are a huge pain though! Thankfully, this year, they've replaced the horrible 2 man death trap that goes up from the main area in Sauze

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sauze - watch out for the Olympics, I think they're due to close large parts of it though you should be OK in early Jan.
I'd of thought Sauze had too many drag lifts for Boarders ??
