The purpose of this was to assess the opportunities for diy. I was surprised to discover there seems to no low cost carriers go to Munich, Innsbruck or Salzburg. So you might be looking for a TO.
Iglu are showing a range of £450+ offers to Bulgaria and Andorra, and £540~ £600 offers to Ital, France, Austria.
You asked about snow depth, and I was interested enough to research the Iglu snow history record. It was remarkable about how similar the snow depths were. I felt that the one that stood out was Sauze d'Oulx.
My view is that at this time of year, the DIY has become costly, mainly because of flights. I have a good NY deal, but it was organised in July.
Easy go to Innsbruck & Salzburg.

Where do you fly from? Can you get a low cost flight to the Alps?

We find that Christmas tends to be a bit quieter than the craziness that is New Year, so if you could go out earlier you might avoid a few of the huge queues.

Does anyone have info for me on french pyrenees - looking at new year in mont D'olmes or Ax-les-Thermes. I live in Toulouse so want no more than a 2 hour travel time from there.

Whenever I want to find out about flights from various places, I use this website called flightmapping.com. It's really useful. Here's a link about places you can fly to from Manchester - just scroll down the list you'll see Geneva, Munich, Salzburg to name but a few.
