Ok. I'm planning to go skiing/ snowboarding at the end of March, 'somewhere' in Europe, ideally on some last minute sort of deal.
Haven't skiid since I was 9, and haven't got a clue where to go. I'm on a 'medium' budget, and want to go for 6 days.
I will also be requiring some weed when I get there, so Switzerland seems preferable.
Basically, I'm clueless and after some recommendations.
Help? :\

Switzerland is the one 'specially if ye want weed.

Great guides there.
I like St Moritz and Verbier in Switzerland, although the medium budget thingy can be a bit of a bitch there.

top tip:
When crossing the border from Switzerland into Austria it is customary for Austrian Customs & Excise Officers to search snowboarders for illicit herbs.
Therefore carry a wee baggie to give them.
Works like this if you have 10g of weed make a wee bag with let's say 3g... then when you get stopped ask what they are looking for, when they tell you they're looking for drugs say you're really really sorry you thought it would be ok.... and give them the wee bag.
Everyone's a winner!

verbier is much too expensive and there is only bad attitude,
ok, it depends if you are going there for the snowboarding or just to get stoned.check out those for the snowboaring:

PuFFi - I'm going to board/ski and visit - to enjoy the experience of another country - especially one so different to mine.
I'm no drugs tourist - but I will need weed.
*cough
(just in case you think I'm 'the typical Brit abroad'... which I probably am, but like to think not)

I wouldn't read too much into that customs tip. I've been strip searched and in called for a two hour questioning just because i carried three wine bottles to many out of the European Union and because I didn't have a country sticker on the car. (this was going the other direction though, A - CH.
So since they did that to me, its gonna be reeeeeal interesting to hear the treatment you're gonna get if you wave bribe-herbs in their faces.

Switzerland is choice, but hella expensive. I once paid $27 for a salad in Zermatt.

*ouch
Was it a good salad, though?
Where would you choose?

i HAVE to go!

we all agree that snow and sun are better than herbs ; )

Keep us informed.

Just come back from a week skiiiing in Tignes (Val Claret) in the French Alps.
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING BRILLIANT.
Now trying to work out how to spend as much of the rest of my life doing this.
... I only wanted to smoke one joint up a mountain (whilst watching the sun fall over Mont Blanc) and I now feel like one of those freaky healthy people who appear to love life for life's own sake.
This, my friends, is the turning of a new page in my life.
