I'd consider:
(1) Saint-Lary Soulan, which now has a freebie transfer service from Pau
airport - and if you're driving, you can split you time here by adding
Piau-Engaly for a change of scenery and decent high-altitude skiing.
Unfortunately, due to a 'situation' between the respective areas, they don't
currently offer a combined lift-pass, but maybe one day...

Would agree with Roger that Saint Lary is a really good choice. Snow
is particularly amazing at the moment and The Older Gentleman is right
that it's Eastern Europe prices over there - pretty important these
days considering the rate of the Euro. There are flights to Lourdes-
Tarbes with Ryanass too and I think that the free shuttle may be
extended to that airport.
