Default Courchevel or Vail

Courchevel is excellent and quite snow safe for the French alps.

If you are into that kind of resort, you will like it.

The really bad thing, though, is getting there. Traffic can be really bad.

Driving on I-70 these days can get you killed... Go to Courchevel.

And don't drive there. Get your travel agent to arrange bus transfers
between the airport and Courchevel so you can enjoy the view or sleep.
Once you're there the shops and restaurants are within walking distance,
and you move around on skis.

Look, here's a really cool .pdf pistemap to drool over:

(The heights are in metres, 10 feet = 3 metres approx)
