So the wife and I have return flights to Geneva for Jan 28 to Feb 6th with a rental car booked. Didnt book any accommodations to wait on snow conditions.
Looking for a good amount of freeride with a couple days of ski touring too. We are spending Feb 3 to 6 in Chamonix area but was looking for suggestions on where to go during the rest of the time. Getting a bit stressed that accommodations are booking up fast.
Really wanted to check out Monterosa region, but not sure on conditions. St Anton area looks amazing but accommodations seem quite expensive.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated, willing to drive to find the goods!

I would choose quickly and get booked.

Courmayeur is only a short drive away. Its not a big area but might suit for a short stay. If you are up to it, you could consider the Vallee Blanche tour from there. Haven't done it myself but it sounds amazing. Italian hotels might be more accommodating of short stays as well.

Why not just base in Chamonix and travel given you have a car? St Gervais, Les Contamines, Courmayeur all within 30min drive and given you tour there is more than 1 lifetimes work of skiing options. If you really want to move base then the logical choice would be to pick somewhere in Aosta e.g. Pila, Cervinia or back towards Geneva e.g. Flaine, PDS etc.
