Hi all,
We will be going to Bansko again in December, but are also looking to get another week in at end of January but are looking for somewhere that has decent green runs for a learner as she's too nervous on blues (took 2 hrs to get down one blue in Bansko) so must have good, wide greens, plus intermediate and a few black runs for the rest of us. Have been to Banf, Serr Chevalier and Champoluc, so looking for somewhere different, but not too costly.

Also, although we don't need a nightclub every night, some nightlife/apres ski would be good, as all the above had very little.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Check out Andorra, Pasa da La Casa resort.More slopes than you've ever seen and a wicked night life, its like Ibiza on snow.
Big tour operators go there, watch out for the pub/club crawls
re: Holiday advice
Thanks All, but keep them options coming!!Donkeywalloper - what's up with you, had a bad day??
She was very nervous, never skied before, was given crap skis and boots that were hurting her (she changed them), but was determined to have a go!! and the slopes were packed full of ski schools and other learners cos there was nowhere else for them to go
Were you never a learner then.......at anything????

The runs aren't particularly long and all on the one side of the mountain, but the uplift is great...all double/triple and quad chairs and very little time queing(sp?).
Or, try one of the Quebec resorts which are also good (Mt. ...

Or, try one of the Quebec resorts which are also good (Mt. Tremblant)...bigger mountain, bigger runs and still reasonably easy to get to.
