I've only skied there a couple of days but I liked it a lot. It's a 
great little place and the odds are the snow will be good in Feb (as 
good as anywhere). There is some great skiing there, the area isn't huge 
but it's big enough and close enough to other resorts for the odd trip 
out (E.g. St Gervais or even Chamonix). For (early)intermediates it 
seems a good choice, and the price looks good for Feb (you didn't say 
what this covers though, so I could be wrong:-).

I don't know about the village as I didn't stay there, but it seems to 
get a good write up. Oh, and the views of Mont Blanc are fantastic!

Things may have changed since I skied there but it was pretty quiet 
then, no queues at all in fact, but that was very early season. Have a 
look on the web for more info (skiclub.co.uk etc).
