hi,
i do not know much about the nightlife in these place since i just drive there for the day from the city for skiing. but i could give you an idea about some places in French Alpes. 2 Alpes has nice challenging reds all over, it is quite big and has a lil village. Alpe D'Huez also has some reds with a very nice view, although i always find its blues very disconnected. But if you are thinking about some doable blacks, they have quite a variety. i personally really like 7 laux, i find its runs nicely connected. as in, you have to take to take less chairlifts for the same amount of skiing. it is a medium size resort, so maybe not very interesting for the night.
i had spent some weeks in kleinwalsertal, austria. and in general, although i luv the runs of these French resorts, i find the apres in austria more fun. you hear the silly fun music with a mass in the hands already at the home run. 
enjoy!

As a family man I have not personally sampled the 'night life' but I believe Morzine has plenty to offer.

If I were going 5th April, I would be suggesting Verbier, St Anton, Ischgl,Val d Sere, Alpe d Huez, Les Deux Alpes depending on your budget. I can't comment on Andora but guess it will be cheaper than the majority of these options. Unless its school holidays I would leave it late to book and look for a deal. I wouldnt be too keen on Morzine in April unless i was booking the week before.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

True, i didn't pay attention on the date. One has to pick a glacier. Last year, for instance, the lower parts of all 2 Alpes were closed by that time, whereas two years ago it was in a better shape, unless my memory tricks me. For 2 Alpes, one didn't miss out on much, there is enough interesting stuff 2800m and up.

p8cgr, welcome to snowHeads.
If you are looking to book now, I'd probably suggest focusing on somewhere with access to a glacier. If you can wait, then do so and see where the best conditions are.
For some good nightlife and skiing with ease of access to a glacier, I'd probably suggest somewhere like Mayrhofen, though I believe the Zillertal may not have had the best of it so far.
Otherwise, Val d'Isere, Tignes, Val Thoren.
Should leaving booking be OK, check out Saalbach Hinterglemm. Great skiing and apres.

I'm sure there are a number of resorts that could provide one of those, but for both, the only place I can think of is Sölden, Austria.
As Cacciatore has said Val Thoren is a viable alternative but (IMHO) the nightlife is not as good, and is considerably more expensive.
Hope you wotk something out.
