And you have to go next week?
Have a look at Hintertux then, bit bleak in bad weather but its a glacier resort with a good amount of skiing and not far from mayrhofen if you like a decent place to stay/visit.

I think you will be struggling to get lots. Even Whistler has too much snow for patrol to deal with until it stops coming out the sky.

Although the Tux is lower than Zermatt (about 500m) the skiing is tougher in my opinion. Done both a lot and there is more of a challenge in Hintertux. Also there is more open on the Tux right now. Most glacier runs are graded red, because they are a glacier I suppose, however Zermatt has more cruisy runs.
