Verbier is fairly high so it doesn't struggle as much as some lower altitude resorts. But off-piste is virtually non-existent now unless you are prepared to hike and hike far. We found some stashes not of powder but still of more or less decent snow in Gentianes area, but it got busy in the afternoon after we were spotted from the cable car and I don't think anything will be left by Saturday. Nendaz is not a good bet in the conditions, it's low and the freezing level is supposed to go up to 3000m this week. Most people that stay in 4 Vallees are skiing on a Verbier side now because snow is better here. So wherever you go, choose a higher resort preferably facing North - pistes would be still in good shape. Maybe even go to Chamonix. Off-piste is struglling as everywhere but black runs in the Argentier area should make up for the lack of off-piste. Facing North and high.
