So yeah, i've got a job with a ski tour operator and i need to choose where i want to go for winter, i'll give mad karma to anyone who can tell me witch of these places are good. I'm looking for a good park but also a relaxed vibe in the town and i would prefer it to not take an hour to get to the park from when you get on the lift. Heres the list i have to choose from;

chatel

alpe d'huez

les 2 alpes

serre chevalier

vars

risoul

corbier

montenevre

la plange

saalbach

schladming

if you don't know anything about any of these nevermind but if you could help i would be really happy cos i wanna go somewhere cool for winter.

 
I have only been to les deux alpes from that list. Les 2 alpes has a pretty sweet winterpark at about 2600 meters. Depending on which lift you take from the village it takes about 20-40 min. You have some decent freeriding around the top not good by any means but is ok. As partying goes it is SICK, lots of students come from all over europe to party there. so all in all, a sweet park, short enough lift lines, decent all-mountain and Sick partying(lots of hot college chicks).

so les 2 alpes is sick like the best park on glacer and few kilometers away is la grave,one of top 10 euro freeride places

schladming area has a great snowpark (everything that you need) but its not on a hill above schladming,its on a mt. that you can get by ski lifts from schladming i think.

alpe d'huez has a small snowpark

la plange is not that park place as a pow and BC

in saalbach theres great park in like 2004 it has a lights so you could ski at night(but i dont know if you can anymore you should check)

thats all i know
 
oh and from those resorts i havent skied sallbach but my sis has been there so she told me those stuffs
 
Looking at that list of resorts, are you working for Equity?

Anyways, I'd say go for 2 Alpes or La Plagne.

Or if you want somewhere a little different, with a cool vibe in a small village, maybe go with Montgenevre. It has a pretty good snow record, and really good freeriding. Plus you will get fresh tracks days after a snowfall. Its a quiet place and you'll rarely wait in lines for lifts. No park to speak of though.

 
dont go to La Plagne, its much more of a family resort, i was working there for a while and theres kids and beginners everywhere. Although it is a huge area, esp cos its linked to Les arcs, so the powder stays untracked for a while, the parks not great though.

2Alpes is awesome, http://www.2alpes-snowpark.com/uk/home.php the park is one of the best in europe and like the others said the town is really good aswell, great vibe. La grave and alpy d arenearby aswell.

Alpe d'huez is really good, its about an hours drive from 2alpes and theres lots of big mountain type off piste there. bit of a party town like 2alpes

Serre chevalier is supposed to be pretty good aswell, dunno about their park but lots of off piste and tree skiing.

What job you doing and who you working for?
 
Chamonix... would probably be my favorite place in the world. "You aren't a big mountain skier until you've skied Chamonix." - Steep

alpe d'huez's park is ok, gets a lot of sun end of season though and the town is average

deux alpes park is really good but lifts to get there are fucking annoying, town is lively but it's a bit of a shithole

haven't been to serre che in a while but the skiing was really good

risoul has a superpipe behind the town but it's the wrong side of the alpes

saalbach is an amazing, amazing party town, especially hinterglemm; they do great events there like the swatch snowmobile. There's a park in hinterglemm that is open till 10pm, bit of an intermidietes park though. The park over in Leogang is better, really good and inventive; and is the home of stefan gimpl.
