We would definitely prefer Val d'Isere or Zermatt/Cervinia over Courchevel.
The resorts are all outstanding though. Personally I would be eager to
explore the back country of Val d'Isere if powder is on the radar :)

WRT alitude: This year's snow condition was definitely exceptional. It
could be the same next year but also consider the possibility of the
opposite. High altitude can also mean harsh weather conditions of snow
storms and -30C which is no fun to ski in.

Combining it with a conference or an extended vacation would be a
strict requirement for us to consider coming over to north america.
