Pros
- Tignes maybe? Around the corner from Troisvallées but less crowded
- Try also places like alpe d'Huez, mayerhofen, val Thorens/3 vallées, la Plagne,. Tignes etc which all have a good mix of terrain and lots of social opportunities.
- If you want to ski two resorts then go to Tignes of Val D’Isère and ski both everyday day if you want to.
- chances are Tignes gets a bit more snow, they're higher up. Snowmaking was still going this morning, and will most likely continue over the next 2 days to ensure a thick enough base, but on the Carron / Grand Fond side, it should be pret...
- I’ve never been there myself, but I’ve heard good things about Tignes.
Cons
- Tignes is my personal favorite but keep in mind these are two of the most famous—and pricey—ski areas in France.
- Tignes Webcams are mostly showing more the sky than the floor ... smelling a "*vaselinesque*" commercial method.

Stretching it a bit, ignoring the expensive lift pass (something like €360??) you can get good accomodation deals for Tignes.
Val d’isere / Tignes or Meribel are classic stag do spots in the French alps. Both massive ski areas.
