Looking at a couple of options, one being Les Arcs, the other 2 Alpes for next Feb.
Please advise on anything and everything (probably going to drive)

I seem to remember that you've skied before (a bit!)... so Les Arcs every time.
I like Les Deux Alpes but Les Arcs has the more interesting skiing IMHO. And if you're driving then you've also got Tignes, Val d'Isere and Ste.Foy all within reach if you fancy a day somewhere different.
Which village in Les Arcs? Depends what you want... Disney/Luxury in 1950, quiet and quaint (but brilliant skiing) on the Villaroger side, trees down to Peisey and Vallandry, purpose-built in 1600 and 1800... or easy on your pocket by staying in Bourg and getting the funicular up each day.

According to the SCGB Les Arcs is usually "ridiculously busy" in February. :(

I have just booked a weeks camping in the summer in Bourg d'Oisans. It is my intention to ski in LDA some mornings :D so will let you know how easy it is to get there!
My son went at New Year and there is quite a large centre with lots of Bars and clubs. I have not stayed in Les Arcs only skied there from Montchavin Les Coches and the skiing was great - lots of cruisy wide blues with some good reds and blacks to tempt also. We went February half term and did not find it too bad. We did the Aiguille Rouge which is an awesome run. However the villages are spread out and probably don't offer the same nightlife as LDA.
