Snowboarding in France or Switzerland

I plan on going snowboarding around the time frame of Dec 6-11. What is the
snow situation looking like for the various resorts? Who actually has some
snow?

Thanks,
Brian

Zermatt's great at he mo, with more snow forecast for the next few
days, so should still be good next w/e.

Is that the best report you can manage? "Great at the mo"?

Well, never mind - the current low pressure system really looks the biz,
it'll all be different by next weekend.

Any word on anything other than Zermatt? Is there anything comparable or
better open in Switzerland? France? Looking for some challenging runs with
decent conditions...

Today was a Föhn day with 18degrees forecast in some Alpine valleys.

It saw people watching it, the b*stard!

Is that adjusted to sea level?

It's always good to meet someone even more pessimistic than I am!
Snow-forecast doesn't reckon Zermatt'll get meltingly warm. Anyway
there's always glacier skiing in zero visibility ("Are we on piste and
if so which?")

You forgot to mention the gales which will close all the lifts that can
reach actual snow, or the likelihood of the cloudbase being below the
freeze line.
A friend says he was once stuck on a stopped chairlift in a freezing
gale at Zermatt for long enough that the chair's other occupants were
discussing whether it would be better to leap to their death on the
rocks below than to freeze to death where they were!
Oddly enough, he's not coming with us.

No. The flat bits of Northern Switzerland are mostly around 400m.

In the end it hit 19 degrees in Glarus.
