When it February? Saturday traffic can be horrendous because of school holidays meaning the world and his dog goes skiing. Any chance you could fly out late on a Friday night and beat the jams?

A couple of resorts for you to consider Les Sept Laux (approx 150km) or Chamrousse (approx 140km).

Don't know Les Sept Laux, but I enjoyed skiing Chamrousse (where Killy triumphed at the 1968 Winter Olympics).

Also Alpe du Grande Serre, not been but supposedly very pretty and close to Grenoble, good off-piste I'm told.

I know the prices for the helicopter are fairly mind-boggling but heres the official site www.saf-helico.com light planes are much mcuh cheaper and 'do-able' at a couple of hundred euros each way but you are a bit tied to the weather - if its snowing or a whiteout the plan can't take off - the pilots no is 0033 661726093 and her name is Pascale (for others watching this space she really only operates in this part of the world and far less in Savoie)!

If you do phone Pascale mention my name Sarah (English gril from ADH) as I know she is restricted to the transfers she can do but will bend the rules for people she 'knows'!
