Short snowboarding trip

PH4T

Could anyone suggest a good destination for a 3 day snowboarding trip this December?

I’d like to fly over Thursday night, do three good days boarding and then fly back Sunday night. Leaving from Dublin. Been boarding about 5 times before so level is intermediate.

The places I have been to before are not really near enough to airports for such a short trip.

PH4T

Anyone?

France is good...its close and dont take to long to get up the mountain...

the problem with going somewhere close to an airport is the resort is going to be lower down and you will have a much smaller chance of getting good snow, especially before january.
for resorts id recomend tigne or val d'isere (they're linked)as ive been the many times and its allways had better snow than anywhere else and its big and high up.

Had a quick look at your site. Do you only do week long trips or do you do shorter trips as well?

I know it's a bit late but if you're planning another one flying in Geneva gives you plenty of options in France Morzine's a little less than 1.5 hrs away, the 3 valleys is close as is Chamonix.

Zurich to St. Naton is an easy drive or transfer too and you've the option of the train too.

the http://www.j2ski.com/ site gives you resort reviews and you filter by closeness to the airports, very handy
