oke.. a few things you may wanna check out...
if you go to the big resorts.. big money.. i only know the situation in switzerland. but if you go to a smaller one you can save up to 30$ a day. and that dosent mean they arent good.
accomodation wont be to easy.. there are few hostels in skiresorts. i know davos has one, but as far as i know a night costs about 40-50$.
also if you have a car, a good way to save is sleeping outside the resorts. good thing about switzerland is you can reach alot of resorts in a short while.

Smaller resorts are defiantly a good way to go for cheapness but just be prepared for a shitty park and not alot of English speaking.

Have a look at Les Contamines - havent been for a few years but they had a decent park and they hold a few FIS halfpipe contests there.

Norway has great skiing around easter, and lots of partying around the resorts too! I would look into it if i were you,, but it might cost a little bit more then other places. But you should search a little, i'm not that familiar with prices other places in europe.

There is a Youth hostel in Les Deux Alpes, which has a good park and guaranteed snow (glacier up to 3600m). Just checked and they have a deal for 385/415 euros (depending on when you are there) a week, which includes all your food and lift passes. It's also really easy and cheap to get to 2Alpes as there are public buses from Grenoble airport.
