Just my opinion but if you care at all about the quality of the snow during
your month long stay, you should consider a Rocky Mt area..Jackson Hole, for
instance... If you just want to be in a place that has great off slope
entertainment, then Whistler is a good choice.

Good Luck!

one month to lose next winter
and I'm considering going to Whistler. Do you have any idea
of the minimal budget I would need ? (ski pass for one month
and accomodation in a youth hostel...).

Thanks,
