Best European Ski/Snowboard Destinations

Anyone got some info on the best Ski/Snowboard spots in Europe, preferably with some decent apres-ski to mack some hot ski bunnies?

Have heard Bankso in Bulgaria can be quite good and dirt cheap. Also heard Poland and Slovakia can be good options.

I'm definetly no pro so the quality of the slopes isn't the main priority. Just looking for some fun on the snow during the day and hit the apres at night.

Cheers

I've been a skier for 15 years now, and I think I've only banged one girl from skiing, and that was on a student ski trip back in 1995.
Ratio is terrible, there are always 3x more guys than girls, and most people don't party too hard as they want to be fresh for the slopes next morning.
It is a great sport with many pluses, good for your fitness and health and quite enjoyable as an activity, with the added bonus of the majestic mountain vistas. However, if macking the ski bunnies is your main goal you may end up disappointed.

As for your question about Bansko, it is not a bad place to go, it does get crowded with long lift lines (especially on weekends) but since skiing is not your main priority that may not matter much for you. Make sure you research your hotel on Trip Advisor beforehand, as some cater mostly to British crowds and you know what that means - stag fests!
A good option is Hotel Gardenia, which is owned by a Russian dude and he brings in planeloads of Russian tourists, incl. girls. It has a nice lower level restaurant with live entertainment in the evenings.

As for apres ski, it depends on whether you want to try your luck with the local Bulgarians, who go to Planet Club and Brilliantine bar, or the foreign tourists, who go places like The Happy Ending.

Downhill skiing is my favourite sport. I'm doing this every winter since I'm five.

Ok, since you mentioned your priority on not on the quality of skiing, but on getting girls, I want to mention some places.

St. Moritz, Schwitzerland.

Klosters, Switzerland.

Davos, Switzerland.

Kitzbühel, Austria.

You can compare these places to Aspen, Colorado, etc. It's for the rich. And where the rich are, there are the beauties, too.

Additionally, for young people who want to party, I mention:

Ischgl, Austria.

Cool thanks for the info.

I more meant that I'm no pro at skiing so it doesn't matter too much if there isn't some hardcore amazing mountain runs as I'll just be learning on the beginner runs anyway, not that all I'm going to be doing is chasing ski bunnies. Would like the option though even if its usually a long shot.

Do you know much about Andorra as well?

Val Thorens in France is full of drunk Scandi, Dutch, French and Brits...this place is totally crowded with young people...
Courchevel is full of russians from what I've heard but I never tried because it's so expansive

KMan is spot on here. Skiing is awesome but its about as hard to get laid on a ski trip w/a random as it can be - the one exception here is if you go w/a large group and you can bang someone w/in the group. But most people ski, hit happy hour, have dinner, and go to bed.

I was about to go but the group of friends I was supposed to go with changed their mind last minute. You should check out this event if you're going, pretty expensive but looks legit http://www.snowbombing.com/

The male to female ratio is always going to be skewed to our disadvantage unlike sunny retreats.

With that said I can also vouch for Val Thorens as the besy combination of good skiing and gaming. Though it was close to 10 years ago that I went these place rarely change much in fashion inlikely summer spots.
