ADH was excellent for snow when I went Jan 2010, Bad Gastein seemingly has excellent snow most of the season long and is somewhere I keep looking at. I haven't been to Morzine due to its lower altitude and reviews in WTSS.

ADH is the perfect resort for groups, massive range of skiing for all abilities, some classic runs, great snow record and it's got a great record for sunny days too.

Thanks mill for replys.

Alpe d'Huez has put back its opening of the pistes from the 3rd December to the 8th.
The resort will be open on the 3rd but the pistes will open on the 8th.
