I spent a season (4 months) in Chamonix once. Had a GREAT time just skiing every day and drinking beer and chilling in the evening.
I heard good stuff about both Val Thorens and Val D'Isère while I was there. When I go back to the Alps I will probably choose anyone of those two actually. You'll probably meet quite a few Scandinavians all throughout the Alps.

I've been to Val D'Isere, it is an expensive place and probably more popular with the richer crowd and probably considered better skiing. Val Thorens is very popular with Scandinavian high school students who usually go on trips together, which end up in drunken partying much of the time. It is basically the same thing as going to the Greek Islands or Bulgaria but with snow instead of beaches.
