Advice on skiing somewhere near Lyon?

[Eviesnowcat]

Attention European Divas.... I have a business meeting on 22nd March in Lyon and it seems silly not to take in a weekend in the French alps. We have no idea about where to go in that area though. Have skiied Chamonix etc before but that looks to be quite a distance away. Can anyone recommend somewhere a bit closer that would be good for a weekend trip?

Wanna swap?

I guess not! That's why I think a quick weekend in the French Alps has got to be done. I just don't know any resorts near where my client is in Lyon though so need some advice from local Divas..........

Just noticed the hilarous comment on the website advising to book in advance 'to avoid disappointment'! Imagine turning up in eager anticipation to find out that there was no chance of getting up on the hill? I think I heard somewhere that the vert is almost 30 feet!

OK, EvieSnowCat. You win. But I'll be thinking about you skiing in France...
and lovin' it!!

I'd be happy with a trip to Lyon even without skiing! The FOOD!!

Looks like we can easily ski La Rosiere and La Thuile from there. Hurray! Didn't think we'd be able to fit in any more skiing this season!

Looking forward to your trip report.
