Not sure PSD is nearer the airport, Les Gets is only an hour from Geneva. Never been to PSD, must sat Les Gets is ok, great for Family, not so great for a Wild Weekend away.

If you're interested in Saint-Sorlin, one palce to stay is Hotel Beausoleil, which I've booked and am pleased with the rate and the facilities.
There is very little hotel accommodation in Saint-Sorlin - it's a picturesque, quiet little town and skiing is good. Most people stay at tourist appartment complexes. Anyway, in case budget is a concern for one thing, I mention Hotel Beausoleil St. Sorlin as I'm impressed with the price - about 42 Euros per night single use and there is a good jacuzzi and sauna. Though for half board, it takes the place more into the price range you'd expect (I find these resort places are usually the opposite - offering half board for low rates). It's 30 Euros per day extra for half board, breakfast by itself 11 Euros extra.
The hotel's only a 2 star - rooms look comfortable enough, it's good value for a a place with a complimetnary wellness centre. But, more to the point, there's really not much other choice in Saint-Sorlin. Skiing in St. Jean D'Arves is not as good, while the town is not as nice either. Le Corbier & La Toussuire - very good skiing, not really pictureseque due to modern developments, but likeable. Albiez and St. Colomban are a bit isolated. So is Les Bottieres, but you might like that - there's a good tourist appartment place there with sauna and jacuzzi inclusive in the rate (Sybelles has a lot of places where you pay an extra 12 Euros per person per hour to use any of these facilities - watch out - Rive Droite in Saint-Sorlin is another exception, it's inclusive for the sauna).

I managed to get driven through Les Seybelles area in a taxi who went the wrong way from Geneva to ADH. I have to say it looked very fragmented and ridiculously quiet, and I have read that the lift sytem linking the areas is in dire need of updating.
