Chabichou, 2 michelin starred restaurant, is up at 1850 and well worth a visit. If you stick to the tasting menu I think it's about E100 a head and you're in for a treat.
Sadly, the Russians have killed off a lot of the fun part of 1850 although there's a lot of entertainment to be had window shopping at the hermes / gucci / ridiculously expensive high end tacky shops. When I was first there maybe 10 years ago, there were a load of little bars and clubs, now there's hardly any. There's a little arcade in the centre of 1850 which has a climbing wall and a few other activities in it which is worth a look.
One of the time we were there, some of the group did a plane or a helicopter flight from the aerodrome and really loved it. Don't think it was particularly expensive. Obviously that's not really apres ski, unless you try and get a 4pm sort of time.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

La Tania has a couple of bars you can get the free bus back to courchevel. See www.latania.co.uk for what's on.
I believe 1650 has a few places too but I haven't done apres there
There's folie deuce at Saulire express 2 station on the way into meribel, just remember to get the lift back whilst it's still open

Pop down to 1650. The Funky Fox has quite lively aprés ski - I hear the Bubble Bar is also lively but I have not been there in the evening. The restaurants in 1650 are also more reasonably priced - Le Petit Savoyard is well recommended. Larc on Ciel is also good. I did try the new Angel Hartnett restaurant (Cucina Angelina) last time I was there and I was very disappointed.
In 1850 there is a ten pin bowling alley in the bottom floor of the Forum Shopping Centre.
