Plus you mention you are seeking to avoid crowds. I have skied Le Massif during the holidays. It can get pretty busy.
Smaller places such as Orford may be better. IDK.
I wanted to ski Le Massif back in the school bus days but it took me another few decades to get there.
What's up with Le Massif on weekends? So crowded that it gets skied off? And/or are lift lines an issue? With some advance planning can you shift around the mountain and avoid lines?
