I went to Bansko in Bulgaria last year which was pretty good value for money & waaayyyyy better than Borovitz that I'd been to a few years earlier. Really enjoyed Les 2 Alps too which is pretty high up so almost guaranteed snow (and extreme cold)

If you can afford it - Canada

What do you want. Les 2 alps and les arc are awesome especially les arc.

If you want snow and cheap and like easy off piste montgenevre is ace but zero nig htlife but it suits me fine.

Did Canada at school and thought it no better then the 2 alps trips I've done.
One in the Mt Blanc region and another at Wildhaus in Swiss alps. Loved Wildhaus but depends what you're after as there was NO night life.

Have you thought about Andorra/Pyrenees or the Dolomites? Less popular than the Alps so maybe better value. Not been myself but throwing the idea out.

Sauze D'Oulx (Italy) is fantastic, as is Tignes (France).

Both are part of huge linked ski areas, e.g. Sauze joins up with Montgeneve (which is also nice), Sestriere, Claviere and a few others. It's enormous.
