Quickest Kent to Ski resort

We are first time skiers in Bankso. We have done 3 days of skiing which is enough as I am achy and don't wanna ski tomorrow. However, I don't mind going again in a few weeks. I know it is a weekend activity for those who live in some parts of the world. Which place would be the quickest to get to from Kent?

Northern French alps, somewhere like Morzine? Or try La Clusaz, Flaine. Just note that February is French school holidays so likely to be busy.

Nearer would be likes of La Plagne , Les Arcs and Alpe D'Huez, or smaller resorts in Germany and northern Switzerland, if less snowsure.

Defo morzine les Getz. But these are not snowsure. Maybe avoriaz. Would check snow and

But go in jan and good snow weather : it’s like just over an hour from Geneva which was under 6 hours from the Chunnel.

we drove back one year and timed ourselves : between Troyes which is halfway point between alps from Calais To north Kent, took us like 4 hours

Just under 9 hours to Morzine from Eurotunnel Calais. It is doable in one hit but we generally stay half way o/n on the way down. Traffic from Geneva onwards can be horrid but in general we have had more food trips than bad. Usually do the returning on one day.
