Re: Snowboarding in Nice, France
Auron, Valberg and Isola 2000 are the main ones. Snow cover in the most southerly Alpine French resorts can be unpredictable, but sometimes the conditions can be glorious while the Savoie is suffering.
All are not much more than an hour's drive from Nice.
However if cover is really bad in those three, it's a little over a couple of hours to Allos in dept. 04, a fantastic domain in the southern Alps

Plenty of time yet! And there's a bit of fresh snow up on the glacier in 2 Alpes, the traditional Toussaint skiing week is well under way. None on the Tignes glacier though, the only other resort open now. Very sharp edges needed there...

Ha! like they can really predict that far ahead huh?
I've been listening to a radio weather report telling me what a nice day its going to be as I'm standing where its absolutely p-p-p-persisting down with rain.
