European destination resort with direct flight from Boston?

[New Daddy]

Is there an European destination ski resort that can be reached on a direct flight from Boston? Of course, by "direct flight", I also assume a "reasonable" driving distance from the airport to the resort as well. (A six hour drive after a direct flight into a Swiss town wouldn't make sense.)

Only direct flights close to ski areas are Zurich and Munich that I know. Geneva, Grenoble and Lyon have a connection.

Madonna di Campiglia is about an hour drive from Milan, which has direct flights from Boston. Andalo is there, which is where the US ski team practices in Europe, and there are a whole slew of resorts that run on combined passes. We had a great time out there several years ago.

Munich is an easy 1 hr drive to any number of resorts in Austria and Germany.

I found this great database on the internet. (Google is your friend.) It looks like there are quite a few ski resorts within a couple of hours of driving from Munich. Some of them may be reached by train from Munich.

Unfortunately, I don't see any resort that I've heard of - like Verbier, Zermatt, etc.

Is there an agent in the Northeast that specializes in European ski resorts?

Garmisch-Partenkirchen = largest ski resort in Germany within 1 hour.
Kitzbheul within 1.5 hours where the Hanninkem(sp?) is run. The most famous downhill course in the world!!!

Ski much?

I'm flying to Zurich this season and taking the train to the St Anton region straight from the airport. It's an easy trip.
