The comment about finding powder well after Verbier has lost its is correct. Also, if you have access to skins you will find super areas. Yes, the lifts are slow and yes, they are old but 45 mins from Verbier you can ski fresh powder all day and have a good meal to boot at 60% of Verbier prices. However, thank goodness that most people comming to Verbier has no access to skins or 4 wheel drives.
