Recently trying to persuade an old friend of mine to do a season here in Morzine, I again found myself defending the area. He has lived in Deux Alps for a number of years and depsite many an occasion of me gloating to him about having more snow over here, he can't get passed the missconception that a low resort won't have any snow.
Knowing the fact of it and understanding there have to be other factors that effect snowfall, other than altitude, I started to research.
among many other things I discovered that according to the Daily Mail ski magazine, with an average just shy of 8m snow a year, Avoriaz is the snowiest resort in France and 5th from across Europe. November 08 issue.
There is a very good entry on the all Mountain Holidays web which discusses this very topic and gives a good number of reasons.
Also worth a read on this subject: http://www.white-peak.com/weblog/?p=7
and just to ice my argument, it is snowing in Avoriaz as I write this.
