JasonW, don't forget to add on the appropriate tunnel and motorway toll fees when you compare prices.

JasonW, If your doing Bergamo you might as well ski in Italy, its a lot closer Merano (Italian Tirol) is about two and a half hours, I'm sure there will be lots of Snowheads on to tell you how much cheaper it is in Italy, can't say as I haven't been and with lots of resort recommendations

JasonW, Do the Portes du Soleil from Geneva! As someone else has said do the boys trip to Italy, Livelier and cheaper.

JasonW, I have no objections to flying Ryanair if I have to. Do somewhere on the right side of Mont Blanc instead, or get a flight to somewhere nearer.

We have driven to Serre Chevalier from Bergamo, so Milky Way is doable too.

Yes.
Almost anywhere in the Dolomites is within 3-4 hours from Bergamo.
The Western Dolomites will be easier than the Eastern (Dolomiti Superski) area, but that still gives you plenty of choice.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

How about Montgenevre, it's about 2 and a half hours from Milan and a great resort. Linked to Claviere and skiiable to the whole of the Milky Way.

Livigno is great ...... for a boozy week.

hi JasonW, shoudn't you be asking the missus where she'll let you go!!! 
as already suggested there are lots of good places in Italy which are quicker/easier/cheaper to get to the the PDS
you could consider driving up the Aosta valley and skiing La Thulie and/or Courmayeur or go to Cervinia which would also allow access to the slopes of Zermatt

We have done Madonna Di Campiglio and also Madesimo out of Bergamo and would well recommend both, M D C being the prettier but more expensive resort. Both have good skiing. And Bormio too come to think of it.

JasonW,
We did La Thuile one year from Bergamo, great ski area and reasonably priced, didn't look good for nightlife though.
