(Not Europe but...) Breckenridge or Killington, end Jan?

Breckenridge has the advantage of real snow and skiing close to the
resort. You can ski the rest of Summit County but count on 45min to
1hr travel each way. If you stick to Breckenridge the experianced
skiers might get board after a few days (although they have opened a
new mountain since I was last there). The other disadvantage of
Breckenridge is it's altitude (the resort is nearly 3000m high!) Some
people are only affected by tiring a little quicker some get hit with
altitude sickness. If you do go take it easy the first day or two
and stay a night in Denver if you can.

I ski Breck regularly and don't get bored. By the end of January, the
really good stuff will be open. Plenty to do there. As mentioned
though, you can also ski the rest of Summit County, though drivetimes
are more like 30 minutes (maybe I just drive fast). Vail is nearby as
well should you want to try that. All resorts in Summit County have a
relatively high elevation. Follow the recommendation above to get
acclimated, and watch the alcohol intake - it will make altitude
sickness way worse...
