crikey err,yes to the 1st question.
been to...
val des isere (3 times or 4)
Andorra a couple of times
Italy
Austria couple of times
tbh,it all depends on what you want,if you want fantastic skiing,with ok night life,and expensive beers,and lots of very posh mid 20yr old girls spending daddy's money then val de isere is good for that.decent hotels are expenssive,food is good,but as with everything you pay for what you get.i've done half board here in a top hotel which is cool,ski to the door etcc.. but you pay top dollar,plus i've self catering,and done the catered chalet.the chalet optiion is best imo,everything done for you,but at half the price of the hotels.
Andorra is ok skiing,but with fantastic apre,cheap.not been for 8 yrs tthough,and believe that the skiing has got a lot better,due to the whole ski area being opened up as 1 massive piste(it used to be 2 seperate areas,which meant 2 ski passes).
As to the other places,Austria again is fantastic sking,very lively apre,but expensive and full of germans.
where you thinking of going,and at what level are you?(i.e. first time )?
but regardless,it's always an expensive holiday,after travel,food,ski passes,ski hire if you need to,apre,it usualy costs me over 1k for a week,which is 2 foreign track days
,but if you enjoy it,it is an absolute blast.
