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

Just about anywhere in the Dolomites. It's about a 2hr drive from Venice airport to Cortina.

Cervinia is a good bet - very high and snowsure as is La Thuile.

nick0861, As RobW says, the Dolomites is good.
The Trentino Dolomites from Venice, or the Brenta Dolomites from Milan (Passo Tonale being one of the highest resorts in Italy, so pretty snow sure).

Not much apres in La Thuile, I stayed in the Planibel complex Feb last year. Crevinia has more bars and is a little better. To be honest never found great Apres in Italy.

How about the linked Monterosa area near Cervinia: ie Champoluc or Gressoney le Trinité (Alagna, the third, is only suitable for good skiers).
Good skiing for various standards, including good off piste, and pretty Villages. Nightlife might be a bit limited for other than a meal or a drink - I don't know - I've only stayed at Alagna. Airport Turin, I think.
I don't know how they are for booking odd periods - I'm finding it harder and harder to find anywhere to do other than Saturday to Saturday.
