Skiing next week
Login
I already did, Tony, and gave the reasons.
Never considered this as a criteria, probably cos I board so my boots are comfy and I have less to carry!
Was recommending purely on altitude, runs and snow to be honest.

If your budget can handle it go to Zermatt, they have a good selection of runs open ranging from huge wide blue to absolutely frightening brick ice reds. Blowing and moving as much snow as possible to get tracks open.

I would not recommend Zermatt for a beginner. Walking in skiboots, and carrying skis, when you do not have much experience is a chore that many-timers forget. In Zermatt, walk to the bus, heave the skis on/off, queue/ etc, and the same at the end of the day.
My feeling for beginners is that the environment, from accomodaton to class/slope/lifts carries almost equal importance as the actual slope.
