Some viaMichelin route calculations, from centre of Amsterdam:

10h08m - Champery, Portes du Soleil, Switzerland (1'039m/2'466m)
10h24m - La Tzoumaz, Quatre Valees, Switzerland (1'522m/3'330m)
10h33m - Verbier, Quatre Valees, Switzerland (1'495m/3'330m)
10h35m - Obergurgl, Austria (1'911m/3'080)
10h51m - Chamonix, France (1'036m/3'842m)
11h41m - Zermatt, Switzerland (1'620/3'900)
14h27m - Soldeu, Andorra (1'710/2'640m)

So you have quite a lot of choice if you're prepared to drive for 10-12 hours.

Height is location/highest skiable point in the domain.

Obviously, some of these ski areas are much bigger than others: but you'll have to do that research yourself!

We generally stop overnight outbound about 4½-5 hours from Calais, but drive back in one go if there are 3+ drivers available to each rotate 2 hour shifts.

Interestingly Obergurgl is the only one with a peak over 3000m that doesn't have a glacier. Might be relevant.
If I had this list to choose from, I think it'd be in this order;

1. Obergurgl - high and always good snow, cheaper prices in resort and ski area
2. Zermatt - high, glacier, expensive prices
3. Verbier - high, glacier, expensive prices
4. La Tzoumaz - high, linked to glacier resort, expensive prices
5. Chamonix - Mecca for many skiers, but has its drawbacks locally, and its France so not cheap
6. Champery - not enough altitude for me, but linked to PDS so some could be found somewhere
7. Soldeu - longest drive and not massively high, but having an epic season
