Laax isn't a bad choice but i'd say go hit the Espace Killy region of france if you want to be sure that snow will be on the ground and have access to a decent park in that part of the season.  If you get the espace killy pass you can access tignes and val (300km of trails), and i'm pretty sure there are 3 parks split bewtween the two.  val's park is super fun...its kind of like its own little universe atop the glacier with a mountain restaurant/bar right there!  from what i could tell, it seems like it gets a little better every year too.  check these dudes out for cheap deals, www.action-outdoors.co.uk you can get a weeks worth of lift tix, gear, a guide, lodging, all your food, and a transfer from geneva airport for less than 1000USD.  if you go solo or with a few friends, the lodging is a badass place to meet other riders and usually college chicks galore.  theres a fun bar in the hotel too.  gotta get your own flight as far as i know, but most of their visitors come from europe.

i was about to come in here and post zermatt;
 
year round glacier and fun park
 
good piste when it snows
 
highest piste in monte rosa (15000 feet)
 
a car free village
 
and fucking expensive in every way!
 
but if you can get over into cervinia, do so!  they have wicked killer pizzas shops!

I can only comment on places I have been but have not been to them at the times your asking about, I would say Austria has some great off piste and night life, though Swiss alpes have some great runs and some realy good parks, best to look at www.worldsnowboardguide.com and see what the differences are for th resorts you are looking at
