Verbier v Meribel

Hello all,

I need some advice.

My 7 friends in the UK are looking into taking a ski break this year. They are snowboarders and of intermediate level.

Last season, my husband and I spent most of our time on the slopes in Nendaz, Mont Fort and Verbier (the 4 Valleys). Hence, I suggested Verbier as possibility for them, as it also have a great social scene. But they seem to think that Verbier is not ideal for snowboarders and have asked me about the resort of Meribel, in France.

I have never been to Meribel and so would like to know if anyone has been there and what it's like by comparison to Verbier.

Thanks in advance.

Tola

Been to Meribel and it was great as a skier, but that was a few years ago so do not know how well it caters for snowboarders. Great place by all accounts, plan to go back with the family.
