You really sholud look towards St. Anton

Cheers

I would normally agree with St Anton, but saying Cervinia was
great....I think you may be better off going to Lech/Zurs or Ischgl,
which both have tonnes of intermediate terrain. Cervinia is an
extremely flat area with some serious overgrading of runs, typical for
an Italian resort. I think you may find some of St Anton's skiing
(lots of unpisted itineraries and busy home runs, all south facing)
quite difficult. Other areas in Austria worth considering would be
Obergurgl (snow sure but fairly small), or Saalbach (a bit low, but
should still be OK in early March).

in Saalbach there is Kaprun as a backup with sure snow.
