I'll let everyone else argue what is better (just back from a season in Banff-well most of) and go to Revelstoke!!! It will not dissappoint!
i don't know when holidays fall this year which is a problem. as always im gonna say banff with good reason-nightlife is excellent, terrain is suited to all abilities, and theres plenty to do if you get bored of or dont like skiing (not likely). Price it-it's pretty cheap. if not don't go to bulgaria-may put you off skiing forever and we dont want that.
Slope Updates.

Solution-come to Canada. Andorra always have plenty snow even if there is none naturally. The slopes are impeccably groomed every night-you'll be fine. Who goes to Andorra for the off piste anyways?
Pole position (excuse the pun)

I have so much to say on this it's unreal. Drag your pole baskets (hands forward) by the arch of your foot. Once you have planted your pole, make sure it remains in contact with the snow after the turn and drag it once more. As for your outside pole, it should always drag along the ground aswell-for purposes of a beginner/intermediate skier which i'm assuming you are.
Best moment of the season (so far!)

I have so many, but probably the powder day at kicking horse, about 60cm of fresh over a couple days-skiied 6 runs top to bottom, nonstop, and was done about 2.30. Close behind yesterday we built a backcountry kickcer off wawa at sunshine, was about 2 degrees, sun was splitting the sky. what more could you want?
