Chamonix - if you are a strong intermediate or above try and join a snowboard guided group going up the Vallee Blanche. We took pretty much the main route other than taking a diversion for a field of fresh powder. that route is not especially hard but it is beautiful views and a good long run. There is a long pole out at the end though. (Yes, pole).
Arrived in St Anton today. Not been up yet but the lower slopes are BARE! Brown earth where this time last year I was in thigh high snow. I've splashed out on a private guide for Tuesday so hopefully things are looking better higher up.
