If you've not already found it, have a look at www.pasdelacasa-andorra.com. They have contact info for hotels etc, plus discounted Grandvalira lift passes and rentals.
We went to Pas two years ago and stayed at the Himalaia Hotel which was superb, but not that cheap. If we go back (going to Soldeu this year) we'd probably do self catering or B&B because we found the restaurants to be very good and quite cheap.

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

There's a good selection of bars, but wouldn't go so far as calling Pas "Ibiza on snow"!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You know there are other resorts in the Pyrenees that don't have any of that Ibiza feel... have a gander at the Tourmalet (tourmalet.fr), the largest ski resort in the french pyrenees. Not as big as Andorra in totallity but a bigger resort than any of the single ones there (there is alot of bussing to make use of the full claimed kms of piste there).

More like San Antonio kind of 90's Ibiza rather than the cool Ibiza

I'm going to Soldeu in January - went to El Tarter 2 years ago. DIdn't seem any rowdier than Val Thorens to me, so no Ibiza on snow....seemed to be predominantly Irish/Brits though, with more locals at the weekend.
For the record I got flights, accom (half board - Hotel Himalaia in Soldeu), ski pass, lessons and hire for £650.
I could be wrong here...but if you are driving from Spain, aren't you basically driving to the furthest point of GrandValira (Pas) from the Spanish Border...ie creating extra work for yourself?

FAQ
Other resort advice welcomed as we've never been to Spain Skiing as always stuck to France in the past. For those of you on a budget, looks like a week skiing start of Jan 10 comes in under £1000 with the freedom of a hire car for a week in case you wanna explore
