Its not how high the resort is ...its the fact that they have a glacier and it snows there(on the Monte Rosa) in the middle of summer

Do you have access to a gym with a Bosu (a round half ball with a plastic plate)..if so try standing on the plate with feet about 50cm apart and parallel with a 20kg weight across your shoulders and then bounce from one foot to the other with knees slightly bent

have a look at Cervinia..they advertise preski from October...and are high...very very high
