Week before Christmas: Where?

We're about to oragnise a week's skiing before Christmas. We could put
off the hotel/apartment booking for a bit, but flights are starting to
get a bit pricey so we want to commit to an airport at a minimum.

Usually we'd go somewhere like Tignes or Val Thorens that early, but
there's no snow (yet). So how about St Anton, where we've never been?
Is that a good idea? Is anywhere in Switzerland looking good that
early, or anywhere else in France?

(We're in the category of pretty good skiers compared to your average
English holidaymaker, fairly poor compared to most native Austrians. We
want a good selection of red/black pistes but won't do much off-piste).

There's snow forecast across the alps this weekend but it looks like
Austria has the best snow at the moment so you might want to pick
somewhere there. Some of their resorts seem to have enough snow already to
last til Christmas as long as it doesn't get too warm!

The lifts are open this weekend and next and then open form 8th December.

As the above poster says we have alot of snow which will provide a good
base. It might get warmer but so can anywhere in the Alps.
