are unbearable. I was wondering if someone knew of better skiing in the vicinity(4-5 hours by train) or mountain names to check out so my entire european trip isn't ruined. Thanks

Top 10 Swiss are the following places:
340cmAndermatt

220cmMürren
220cmSaas-Fee
220cmZermatt
209cmFlims Laax
189cmEngelberg
179cmLeukerbad
179cmNendaz

Or try going to France. Chamonix has decent snow (10+ feet).
P.S. I hope you understood that Albert was trying to be friendly. "Break the leg" means quite the opposite - it's a common tradition in many European countries NOT to wish "a good luck" because of superstition.

Well no use crying over spilt milk but you can blame mr. Bush and the oil maffia for the general warming up. The trick here to salvage what is left of your trip is not to go further but to go HIGHER. You do not mention at what altitude you are and there is no snow. But I am sure that some of the highest resorts (2000 to 2500 METERS) have snow. You could try Les Diablerets (close to Gstaad and take the highest telecabine there (from the pass between Gstaad and Diablerets and go to the Wildhorn 2600 m or more and I am pretty certain you will find snow skiable in the mornings) Of course part of the descent you will have to to by telecabine or walking as the snow will stop at a certain altitude. Mind you : not Gstaad or Diablerets itself: too low. If you dont know where Diablerets is: it is close to Aigle which is close to Lake Geneva and from Aigle 3/4 hour by small track train into the mountains. As we say: hals und beinbruch. (Break a leg)!!

Better go to Disney Land (France, of course).
