If you are prepared to pay France prices and want something challenging with nightlife to boot. Then St. Anton is the place for you.

Well I am 6'3" or 190cm depending on how I feel, so it's up to my eyeline rather than between chin and nose, but I like a long board, especially for glacier carving (hence the edges) and powder. It won't be my first choice crowded piste cruiser

I just ordered a Prior MFR (freeride) 176cm board with a pro-tune (1deg base bevel, 88deg side edge, standard tip and tail detune, hotbox wax, with racing finish on the base) for less than 300€. Ex-demo, used 5 times prior to retuning, direct from manufacturer.
A full 8cm longer than my longest board at 168cm, only to be used on big powder days and for carving. Me a happy boy. |

Given your level and requirement for traditional, you might be better off heading for Saas Fee. I'm a massive Zermatt fan, and it's an exceptional village, but to get the most out of on a board you need to be on the experienced side of intermediate IMO, or alternatively ride mainly on the Italian side via Zermatt which is ideal for cruising and it's sunnier as it's south facing.

Let me re-phrase that......
