I'd try and go somewhere with a glacier. Ive been a few places, I really liked kuprun due to there natural halfpipes, only downside being theres no home run! So got to get the gondlar back down.

Pretty sure les deux alpes has a glacier or just very high, went there last year and was good fun, although crap cloudy weather. I've just booked to go to Andorra  :cool: 

Would love to go to the usa, but the flights are mega bucks!

Or Bulgaria, thats stupidly cheap! but mainly for beginners and intermediates.

It does indeed, although the glacial runs are fairly limited I guess you're always guaranteed some riding :smiley:

Val d'Isere / Tignes/ Espace Killy is pretty good for snow and quite high up... in fact its some of the best riding I have had... weather conditions can be fierce though

here's one I took earlier...

The only downside to val d'Isere is the long transfer times and the hooray henrys.. its not a very down to earth resort
