Hiya! In France, Alpe D'Huez, Megeve and Les Arcs would be worth looking at. Flaine is good for beginners but doesn't have much aprez ski
The best nightlife is to be found in Austria, but it's not ideal for beginners.

Hi Mouse,
Try Livigno, Italy. Apart from a lousey transfer, its a great place to stay. Two mountains, great for beginners and the whole resort is duty free!
I know, as a sensible adult- aged just a few days off 968- i should not be advocating exess, but a litre bottle of Bud for under a quid is bound to make the budget go a long way.
Enjoy.

That's an extremely busy week in France. One of the other countries might be a better bet. Do you have flights booked? If not, any chance of finding a quieter week. For a beginner snowboarder, lift queues and having to cram onto the seats is really no fun at all. It's also a pretty expensive time.

Hmmm, I would have thought that beginners could adapt to the nightlife fairly quickly

Ray Zorro, 
As said above, leave it until the 2nd week in March. Much quieter. Oh and somewhere in Austria e.g Soll

Arosa in Switzerland, take the gondola up to the first station, easy wide pistes, not too busy, down load on gondola too back to the resort, easy to get to from Zurich on a charming mountain train which stops at the gondolas station. i went there as a newish boarder and it was fine

Mouse, welcome to snwoHeads 
Picadilly, why would you say that Austria isn't ideal for beginners? Firstly that seems a very sweeping statement about a country, and secondly I'd disagree completely!

I learnt to ski in Austria so I would diagree totally that is is not suitable for beginners. Austria has plenty of resorts suitable for beginners...it doesn't begin and end with St. Anton you know!
