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!

and accomodation in a youth hostel...).

Thanks,

What's great about off slope entertainment at Whistler? I liked
Whistler, but didn't think the nightlife amounted to much. It's
mostly 5 star hotels and restaurants, the bars tended to be small.
And anyone going to Whistler should bring plenty of money, it;s one of
the most expensive resorts.

I'd recommend Summit County Colorado. There you have Breckenridge,
Copper, A-Basin, nearby and Vail is a 45 min ride. These are among
the best you will find anywhere. They have a good bus system,
nightlife and much more reasonable prices for lodging, food, lift
tickets, etc.
