i live in switzerland so i can recommend some pretty dope places. not many places are open yet but Saas Fee , Les Diablerets, Laax, are all open and they have dope parks.
how far are you willing to drive???

I live in Zurich.

The dopest place is Laax for sure, it's also easily accessible you take a train to Chur and then there's a bus that says LAAX.

The closest are spots like Hoch-Ybrig, Flumserberg.. they are ok they have some good lines and reasonable parks. But nothing like Laax. Just go to Laax unless you need AK style freeriding then take a train to Engelberg or Andermatt.

Forget Diablerets, Zermatt, Saas-Fee they're all over 4 hours away from Zurich and right now Laax rules them anyway HAHAHA. no they're all intensely sick.

HAHAHAHA you're being sarcastic rigth? It's been snowing 6 days a week for over a month now. I'm in Laax and it just snowed 60 extra cm today. They're having the best year in 10 years maybe.

Fuck, I was in Portes du Soleil in the beginning of February. I don't know if I hit it right before it started snowing tonnes, but it was actually the worst snow conditions I had ever seen. You literally couldnt go off piste, because it was basically ice. There was also very little amounts of snow- alpine base just over a metre.

I am glad to hear that it is snowing good now though, as I will be coming back in there at the end of March. What would be the best bet then?

Yeah France got it bad the first half of this season!! no snow for over a month, rocks and ice everywhere... will you believe Portes du Soleil actually had the BEST conditions in France at that time?

My friends were skiing rocks in Les 3 Vallées while I did the sickest freeriding of my life right outside of Laax, 70 cm overnight, sunny day, and a 3000m mountain untouched top to bottom.

Right now it's snowing like crazy all over Europe. But end of March is hard to predict... I'll probably head to Avoriaz that time to shred the park.
