Default Snowboarding Europe Nov

Simple one. Best places in europe to snowboard in late Nov for, hopefully, just above complete beginners. Prefer young scene, nightlife would be a big added bonus. Cost not a major worry.

Ty ty!

Most resorts in Europe open in early December, and then only with snow permitting, so I'm not sure where you can do this.

Since this thread is started I don't really want to start my own, but I'm looking for a place to spend the winter.

I'm a fairly advanced skier so I'm looking for that kind of terrain/runs. Though, I've never done any back country skiing either. I love skiing powder and that's a #1 priority, however a park would be nice as well. Also, a solid nightlife is pretty essential as well. Ski in/ski out accommodation a plus.

In Europe obv. Any suggestions? Money isn't too much of an issue, but I imagine that things can get expensive fast so I won't say no issue.

Are you from the EU?
If not, you'll have visa problems if you stay more than 3 months.

if you love skiing powder, then stay in North America. Utah if you don't care about nightlife, Tahoe area if you want nightlife + sick parks.

annual snowfall:

Val d'Isère: 390 inches
Chamonix: 264
Verbier: 331
Cortina: 300

Squaw Valley: 450
Alta: 500

also keep in mind that the Euro resorts are going to be about 40% more expensive just b/c of the Euro

I'm from canada, but I have an EU passport.

I can't go to NA because:
States - not 21
Canada - Taxes (I'm aiming to be a non resident)
