So I’m look at my season for next year seeing that my plans fell through this year I’ve already worked out i can't afford to go to America so I’m going to base myself in France for the year. I'm a photographer and need to build my portfolio and I’m yet to have an urban shoot so just wondering what resort has the best urban? and if there’s any in Europe that i should look at let me know.

in val d there is a classic rail near the ice rink that has been in several movies really long and its obvious that its been hit several times due to the lack of paint on it
 
I'm writing to you from Avoriaz right now. It's a sick park resort and there's some sick skiers, parks and competitions that go on here. There's not too much urban stuff in Avoriaz but in Morzine and the other Portes du Soliel towns there's loads. A few days ago me and some friends were hitting a rail today I saw the Volkl Team, who are doing some kind of tour, hitting the same one.I think that Avoriaz has a lot better local feel and there's always fellow newschoolers in the park
Here's a few edit's of some friends, I think there's some urban. If not it's at least shows off some of the parks in the area.

yeahi went to avoriaz a couple of years ago when they opened the stash and the park was on point wasn't all that into urban at the time but the park looks sick. sweet edit
 
dude, not that it answers your question in any way, but if you're going to one of these resorts, you should be building your portfolio by hooking up with some local chargers and shooting big mtn, especially in val d'isere.

from a photo perspective, eliminate val thorens- the other 2 have better parks, better freeriding, and better treeskiing- there are 0 trees in vt (too high) so on dump days you'll have nothing to shoot whereas int he others you'll have epic tree pow shots.

and in answer to your question: val d'isere.

mostly filmed in val. some of the most creative urban ever. hook up with the gypsy feelin crew and you're sorted. but like i said, so much more than urban to shoot there.
