would resort would you reccomend for 5 17 year olds. This trip we are going to organise is going to be for 2008/9 when were 17/18 as we lack sufficient funds for this year and were all going with our families for the last time.
We all enjoy intermediate country ie lots of blues and reds.
Lively resort
snowsure
relatively cheap with good deals. prefreably last minute deals.
lots of accomodation close to main heart of village and slopes.
prefreably france, but perhaps italy or austria.

Iran, no seriously Chamonix, just avoid school hols (if you can), low season you will be able to get a flat quite cheap, would not necessarily shout about your age when booking.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Christopher, you'll need at least one 18-year-old, as no-one in their right mind will take your booking otherwise (nothing personal, you understand). You could do worse than go back to Montgenevre - cheap and accessible.

Mayrhofen! Loads of cheap last minute practically snow sure with the Glacier and you will get a good deal on a pension plus it has the Ice Bar!

I reckon Les Deux Alpes ticks all the boxes.

I'd go to Val d'isere , out of the main holiday periods , great red and blues , park , great nightlife and that is based on that bleary eyes of our chalet hosts most mornings , but breakfast was always good and the stories even better.

harsh!
Go for it chief, far better you get yourself skiing than wasting "all" your money in Ibiza a few months later 
PS What about Saalbach
PPS Tour operators will take your money with a parental guarantee I am sure!!!

Any youth hostel/UCPA place should be more than happy to accomodate you.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Though now in my thirties, having travelled with `students` in the past,.. I can still reccomend Alpe Duex, Deux Alpes, and La Plagne for great terrain, accomodation either in apartments or chalets for sensible money, and good bars and nightlife.
The bigger resorts obviously have more clubs and crazier night life, but you will sacrifice skiiing/ boarding time for hangovers, and your wallet will take a pounding also...

If you are booking last minute you can be sure of snow by booking where the conditions are known to be good. If you go early season when the cheapest deals are you really are best waiting and seeing where the snow has fallen.

I agree with DB's choices. All three are superb.

If you will all be 17 you may have to go independently rather than with a TO - my daughter found that TOs would not accept a booking from a 17 year old. Easyjet and private accomodation providers didn't ask about age. And in your position I would go to Austria!

In terms of apres cost, I have it in mind that France is the most expensive, followed by Switzerland, Austria and with Italy the cheapest, though that may be partly down to the resorts in those countries that I've visited
