Hopefully conditions should be good soon. Some resorts are already open, some not. All welcome- all levels, gays on trays or pricks on sticks (snowboarders or skiiers).

My local resorts are:

Metabief/Jougne (France above Vallorbe)
Les Rasses (VD) above Yverdon
La Robella (NE) near Fleurier, with access by rail
Les Bugnenets (NE) above Neuchatel near la Chaux-de-Fonds.

Favourite Romandie resorts:

Villars
Charmey (+spa)
Torgon/Chatel
Leysins
Haute-Nendaz
Verbier/Siviez
Veysonnaz/Thyon 2000
Arolla/Nax
Vercorin
Ovronnaz (+ spa!)
Loèche (+spa)


And for total beginners, Les Fourgs (France, between Vallorbe and Pontarlier) - very wide easy slopes, cheap hire and passes, restaurant at base of slopes with hire under and ski/snowboard school next to.

Any up for a meet up and some snow fun (+ or - meal/fondue, etc after).

I/we can do week-days or week-ends.

Thanks for posting this. What great info. We are in the Lausanne area and have so far been to Chatel and Morgins. Takes about 1 - 1 1/2 hour drive. Conditions have been good. Friend went to Villars on Wed. and said it was great. For those with tiny ones, there are magic carpets at Les Mosses and Morgins.
