I think i'd head out to to Utah probably and head round all the resorts there, maybe also Banff kicking horse revelstoke etc!

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

I'd go on a skiing holiday and not come back until I had learnt to ski properly

First of all I'd get the best knee surgeon in the World to operate on my F**** knees! After that I would do a tour of the Utah resorts, go to Aspen because I've always wanted to, have a couple of weeks in Revelstoke doing Cat and Heli from a luxury condo with it's own heli pad. Pick off a load of European resorts I haven't done yet on little weekend trips and head down to South America for the summer to do the 'ski with a pro' week in Portillo, and some gnarly freeriding in Las Lenas. Oh and not forgetting I would finally get my 3 year boy on the slopes!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

warm up with a couple of weeks skiing jackson, revelstoke, and val d'isere then have a week skiing rettalack bc which has surely got to be the ultimate cat skiing destination but at 3800 canadian dollars for five days isn't cheap and then spend the last few weeks of the trip heli skiing in the chugach mountains. Somehow though I don't think my student loan is going to cover this little excursion though.

To be honest I'd probably do a season in St Anton, taking in Lech, Zurs, Zug, Stuben and St Christoph.... plenty to keep any half decent skier happy for an age and what a fine place to improve the off piste technique!
.... then move on to Argentina / Chile for the summer.... 
If only money and time off work were no object!!!!

Not bothered about going Stateside, but I really fancy Ischgl and it's way over my price range...

queen bodecia, if you book independently it's not too bad... we usually get a B&B reasonably close to the lifts, fly into Freidrichschafen and hire a car... it's no more expensive than booking virtually anywhere in Austria with a TO... PM me if u want further info

I skied the year before paying 25 Euro per head per night B&B at Mathon. With the wife we stayed in a ensuite room. For 50 Euro for a double room B&B I thought was average to ski anywhere in Austria, Italy and France.
We did our dream destinations of Davos and St Moritz and the accommodation cost was doubled but it is always more expensive to ski in Switzerland.

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

SnowGod, saikee, B&B and DIY would not save me any money as I'm a solo traveller, but thanks for the suggestions...

I'd do the early part of the season in Switzerland-stay in Klosters and then take in Davos, Arosa, St. Moritz..mainly because having worked in Klosters for 4 years it is like home and I know everywhere like the back of my hand...a good warm up, but I would like to see some of the nearby resorts (Arosa, St. Moritz).
After February time, I would move stateside and take in Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and Aspen, before flying up and finishing the season in Whistler Blackcomb.
Now where's my lottery win??

If money isn't a problem, I'll get on a plane and head to where the next snow storm is forecast to hit! 
Once there, I'll use whatever appropriate means (lifts/snowcats/helicopter) to access ALL the new powders until all good lines got track off or become too heavy.
Then, repeat the process by getting on a plane again...

Krasnaya Polyana, Russia and environs next for me.
It's the area selected for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.
