Quite possibly, yes, but there are hundreds of ski resorts in France and they don't ALL get rammed for half-term. Look for the less-well-known and smaller areas that the Tour Operators don't go to and start your research there; how about somewhere in the Maurienne Valley for starters?
In any case, consider satellite villages rather than central resorts and think about planning your days to be away from any obvious bottle-necks; us "Brits Abroad" exhibit odd herd-like behavior on holiday and tend to cluster in crowded centres rather than skiing to out-lying stations. Get away from the herd and you'll be fine. 8)
