I've been skiing all over Europeas well as the odd time I'm near enough to Aviemore on the day it snows enough for skiing.
I have to say that this is without doubt the best indoor experience in Europe. The place is huge and dominates the skyline. It is however geared less for tutoring and fun, more towards squeezing every penny out of you while you are there. They won't even let you on the slopes unless you pay to be scrutinized by a teacher who decides if you are capable of skiing or need to pay for 3 beginner lessons.
But once you get on the slope it's as good as you can possibly expect from an indoor slope.

I don't ski as much these days being anarthritic old man but my wife introduced me to it.
My personal favourite for all round holiday experience has always been Kitzbühel but considering my wife arranges it all with her Sloane ranger mates and there are usually 10 of us off for a piss up, we generally end up in Courchevel or Val Thorens. You will be unlucky not to get good snow at Val.
