Here's another - which is the best European resort for tree-lined runs?

erica2004, I've no Idea, Wengen has quite a lot but I doubt it has the most

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

erica2004, I would say Megeve, but the PdS has more than a few.

In my limited experience the PDS works best. Lindarets from Avoriaz, lower Hauts Forts, Pleney, down from Nyon plateau, some awesome HP routes into Morgins, some interesting routes to Champery (I mean, just what do you do when you've skied 500m vert down and you come across a sign in someone's garden across the only passable route saying "no skiing"? - certainly not hike 500m back up again...), Also, nearby Praz de lys and Meuissy have a few.

erica2004,
Agree with David, Megeve takes some beating as most of the runs are tree lined. And the whole valley is pretty in the snow.

One of the very best is Madonna di Campiglio in the Italian Brenta Dolomites. It is linked to Marivella and Folgarida and has a combined 150kms of piste. It is mainly intermediate terrain with excellent snow-making faciities and perfectly groomed pistes.
When the weather gets bad you do really appreciate the tree cover which is very extensive. The runs are at a fair altitude.
Bacause I like tree-lined resorts this is one of my all-time favourites.

Val Cenis, France, virtually everything from 2000m down to 1400, is tree lined, with just a couple of runs not. Then everything above 2000, up to 2800 is all open. Best of both worlds depending on the weather.

Serre Chevalier is situated in Europe's largest larch forest.

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

- It may have excellent snow-making facilities, but they have to use them! I was there in January 02, and the trails were restricted to a few ribbons amid a wasteland of bare earth. - Since temperatures were well below freezing each night (and had been for the preceding couple of weeks), they could have made a lot more snow, but for the most part the blowers lay idle.
For trees AND snow, try Canada!

I was also there in Xmas 02 - the reason that they could only blow snow on a few of the runs what that thay had un unusually dry summer, so the reservoirs did not have enough water. SNow making requires rather a lot of it.
I was also there in Xmas 04 and just about every run was open, including the black under Spinali - a great week.
