Thank you both for your responses. I did play around a bit on Google maps to see transportation options from Moxy Sion and realized that we'd be spending at least about an hour each way to go to the closest skiing place by public transportation. I didn't check the other skiing locations mentioned, but it got me thinking that perhaps the best option for us is to book a nice clean boutique 3 star property that is reasonable and is already within a ski resort so we're not wasting that much time traveling to/ from our hotel.
We can book many of those using Chase UR at 1.5 cpp through our Sapphire Reserve so we don't have cash out of pocket cost just like we wouldn't if we booked the Moxy with Marriott points.
