snow front?
Sounds like the equivalent to "sea front" for a winter sports resort. Could this be it? Perhaps "snowline", but that sounds too much like wildlife and nature documentary speech to me. I see it translated on various web pages as "at the bottom of the slopes", but this doesn't fit here. A few hits for "snowfront" and "snow front" but nothing convincing. Perhaps put it between quotes?

snow-side avenue
From the site below, you can deduct that a "front de neige" is some kind of a walking trail. But in French, a "front de mer" is an avenue on the sea-side. I just transposed it to a "snow-side" or ski resort. But I see that many English sites don't bother to translate it and just use the expression "front de neige" as is, since this seems to be a typically French type of expression used in French ski resorts.
Does this help?

ski-area infrastructure
That is, the buildings and services that support the recreational activities. ("Infrastructure" is a very handy word in English...) -- Best, HC
