I had been to Andorra once before but when i was about 12 but now that I was 18 it was a whole different experience and it really is a great resort with an excellent nightlife. Andorra itself is a country but the pas de la casa allows you to access the whole of the area Andorra allows you to ski.

The resort links about 4 different areas together but the actual area we stayed in was pas de la casa, it was a medium sized area for a ski resort with one main starting area for the skiing meaning that queues in the morning often got quite large so you were best off going either quite early or missing the first half hour/ hour and coming home later. The resort is also not short on snow, i think we had about two feet just while we were there although this did ruin a day for us. The locals are friendly and helpful which you definitely don't find at Italian resorts and also being in a tax free zone you can get cigarettes and alcohol very cheaply. I saw 200 unboxed (just loose in a big case) cigarettes for just 2 euros. You could also get your proper brands like B&H gold 200 for about 17/18 euros. I can't recall the price of lift passes and ski hire but i remember it was very fair in comparison to the average you pay at most resorts which made us sway toward Andorra this year and the only fault i would find was the long transfer. You are left sitting on the coach for hours meaning by the time you get their you're already tired.
The nightlife in Andorra is excellent, their are bars/pubs everywhere that cater for everyone, you can find all your sky sports etc in a lot of the pubs and the portioning is good, if you get a vodka Red bull it is half a pint vodka, then some Red bull and some ice after. Prices aren't as cheap as expected if you go out however it is still definitely much better than if you wen out here in the UK, definitely a resort i would have returned for if i hadn't managed to ski it all within the week, although i probably will return in the future.

Summary: Great all round resort for younger/party loving Skiiers
