Hi. I am trying to decide which resort to choose. We will be snowboarding. I and my brother are advanced to expert level (we both lived in ski resorts in our 20's). Although I haven't snowboarded in almost 20 years, so will be pretty sore and taking it easy. My husband and 10 year old daughter will be their first time. My brother is flying in from the US. I have always wanted to go to Zermatt, and actually found the cheapest accommodation there compared to France and Austria, compared to other snow sure resorts. For a non catered apartment. Also surprisingly the snowboard tuition for daughter is reasonable, lift tickets, as well as flights, etc. It seems like a fun place to go, not just for the snowboarding, but also the sights, and village atmosphere. We won't be eating out too much, so will try to save on that. Packed lunch, and making food at the apartment, with the occasional fondue or meal out. My worry is that the snow is not that great, or doesn't have much currently...It will be my first time ski/snowboarding in Europe, so wanted to pick the right place. I was interested in France (Val d'sere, Chamonix, Val Thorens) but worry that it will be more crowded than Switzerland? Also St. Anton, but in France and Austria couldn't really find many accomodations under 2k for a week for 4 people. Do you guys think Zermatt is a good choice? We are looking for a mix of things to do, and would like good snow(snow sure at least). Also a place that can handle the crowds of February half term. As well as fun for mixed abilities. Also we are not into partying or drinking, so that is not a deciding factor. Is there any other place I should look into? Thanks for the suggestions.
