Ummmm, the mountains in Switzerland are generally way bigger and way steeper. There is a reason almost every major ski/snowboard flick has a segment in Europe. The key thing is if they are going to get the snow, which can be said of anywhere. Early season in Europe has been amazing. Austria got something like 2 meters of snow in August. People were making some insane turns for that date.
Snowboarding and skiing are much more of a way of life over the pond than here. Sounds like a fantastic trip. I would go for it.
I have a friend moving back to Switzerland and I very much plan visiting him in the next year or two.
