My High school might do what is called a year end work study, meaning the last two weeks of school each teacher teaches a random subject not usually found at a high school. teachers also have an opportunity to lead trips to Europe and anywhere else. I started a backcountry Ski Club with one of my teachers who is a hard core backcountry tele skier. So we are trying to find a place to ski pow in June. I was thinking Chile, the french alps or maybe the Swiss alps? So basically where is the best place to ski pow in June?

Chile would be the best option for pow skiing since it's actually winter there and there is alot more snow and terrain to explore. There isn't that much stuff open in the alps since the snow level is around 3000m during june.

You or your school has enough money to shell out an international trip a month before June? That is impressive.
