Replying to Going to france for a year

So my dad has been given a sabbatical and the place we are thinking on going to is france.I was wondering if it would be worth it to bring all my gear because scene ill do shit in school i may take some days off to go shred the alps. So would it be worth it to bring my boots, skis and other stuff?

Oh and where are some of the best places to go to near montpellier. I was thinking candides home mountain cause it goes with my style of riding.
