In reply to cha1n: Have a look at either the Slovakian or Polish Tatras.
The Slovak side has the better resorts , but will be more expensive than the Polish side.

The Polish side has lots of smaller lifts all fairly close to Zakopane ,all easily reached from town..
Easy jet fly direct from Gatwick/Liverpool to Krakow ... then its a 2 hour bus trip to Zakopane.
In general its a really nice affordable place to ski or board.
