We, as a group, have stayed at Selva twice. The apres ski is lively but the nightlife is quiet.
The skiing however is great with the Val Gardena valley as well as exploring the Sella Ronda. Best skiing areas are above Canazei, above Arabba(more demanding), Above Selva. But you can spend a lot of time covering the Valgardena area. Alp de Susie(not the correct spell) is picturesque but not very demanding.

Thanks very much for that Gordon I will look into Selva,I agree with you about the skiing above Canazei as we stayed there in 2007,but the bars and nightlife are dead.

Hello Nigel - I have actually skied and stayed in Corvara but about 5 years ago. Hotel was uphill out of the town however, so great position on a piste but not much fun for going into town in the evening and then having a real uphill slog home afterwards when all the taxis were taken! (for an asthmatic that is a real problem) So, be careful what/where you book. Town has excellent medical facilities as we discovered when one of our party broke their ankle in a freak accident on the last run home off the Sella Ronda. I think we flew into Verona which was a fairly long transfer time once we had got through the Saturday traffic in Selva. Brescia is a closer airport. The skiing was enjoyable but some of the runs had annoying flat parts. German is widely spoken here. Unfortunately nothing else from that holiday sticks in my mind!
If you want to try another area of the Dolomites, how about Madonna di Campiglio/Folgarida/Marilleva - we have been there three times now with mixed groups of ages/beginners/boarders etc. and would still go back.

I stayed in the centre of Corvara for the first time this Summer and I loved it and will definitely go back next year for the skiing but there wasn't that much of nightlife there. We stayed in a catered chalet so didn't miss it that much, but it would be nice to have options.
