Great to read that you all had a good holiday but it's a shame that the conditions were so poor, but that's just bad luck.
It's funny how bad conditions can really change your view of a resort and I would imagine most skiers have had a trip like this at least once.

There is a transfer from Nice airport to Isola and is cheap if I remember correctly.

Isola 2000. Only an hour from Nice. Good for what you are looking for too.

Zermatt, probably 10 to 15 quid.

Italy.

I drove by Chamonix yesterday morning and there was a dusting of snow down to the main road.
You will be fine.

Well done for finding some snow and I'm really pleased you're having a great time :)

Thanks Ally, good to be able to spread a positive ski story at the moment!

I am writing this post from Cervinia and while it would not be my first choice for a few days in December if the Alps were covered in snow, we are having a great time!
We got here yesterday afternoon and only managed one run for the very top back to the village which was very windy and not great at all.
Today was great though with lots of sun and pretty empty pistes. Cervinia is never going to challenge a skier too much but it was a very enjoyable day carving down empty slopes in the sun.
Great food and €5 for a beer is another reason why skiing in Italy makes a lot if sense to me.
