Just joined. What a great thread. Reading all those resort names sent a shiver up my back, remembering all the great times, and looking forward to more.
My list just includes trips away, but we can drive to the Scottish resorts for the day, though we have done less of this the last few years. (Delighted to hear that Glencoe & Glenshee are still going to have skiing, though. I must try to get more Scottish days in!)
1990 Mallnitz: small Austrian resort, very little snow that year
1991 Schladming: vg. I believe its changed a bit, now. More links open?
1992 Courchevel: awesome place.
1993 Breckenridge/Vail: snow every night, sunny days, but struggled in powder!
1994 Valmorel: nice French resort, and I'm learning to love the powder. Yippee! 
1994 La Plagne: 2nd week that year. I like this place.
1995 Lake Louise/Whistler: 2 week break. Unfortunately, raining in Whistler. My best day's skiing this year was at Nevis Range, late season. Quiet, great snow, sunshine, just perfect! 
1996 Courchevel: excellent. Powder 2nd half of week.
1997 Cervinia. Very nice place, I'd go again.
1998 Breckenridge: conscious of the limited vertical, this time, and no powder. 
1999 Tignes: very good
1999 La Plagne: 2nd week again. vg.
2000 Verbier
2001 Banff: 10 days, but not vg snow this year
2002 Sestriere: enjoyed this, including link to Sauze.
2003 Steamboat: Lovely place, and we had 6ft of new powder in 10 days! Also had a great powder day at Nevis Range.
2004 Winter Park: Not much going on here, but great snow: 3 ft in 10 days.
Not sure where we're going next season. Probably only one week, but maybe some days in Scotland, weather permitting. I can't wait!

richmond, Ask any time you like, but the place is actually an investment/future home. We have it rented out to a long term tennant and intend to use it as our first home when we emmigrate to Canada in a couple of years. Of course we will be having a look at the place when we're out there in two weeks time

Hi, I recently joined.......In a different way than you, and consequence that I'm Catalonian and I live 100km far away the Pyreenes (the nearest my town) I visit several resorts in Pyrenees (and also several times each of them):
Port del Comte, Masella, La Molina, Eyne-St.Pierre, Les Angles, Puigmal (Pretty freeride bowl), Puyvalador, Formigueres, Porté-Puymorens (challenging couloirs), Ax-3 domaines (Ax-les thermes), Pas de la casa and Soldeu el Tarter (now, Grandvalira), Arinsal, Pal and Ordino-Arcalís (now these 3 together are Vallnord), Port-Ainé, Boí-Taüll, Baqueira-Beret, Piau-Engaly, Saint-Lary Soulan, Peyragudes.
In the Alps Zermatt - Cervinia, and the Arlberg (St.Anton, Lech and Zurs), and after the next week Schmmitenhohe, Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Kitzbuhel and maybe Bad Gastein.
So, for questions about Pyreenes........

FAQ
when we had kids 
I'm good for questions about easy skiing, good grooming and convenient places to stay - if you want to know about off piste or black runs, look elsewhere
