Where to go with teens at Easter?

We usually ski in February but fancied trying Easter this year and looking for some suggestions for where to go please that has the right kind of town and will have decent snow. The Kids are half decent skiers comfortable on reds and blues and are aged 11 and 13, husband is very good snowboarder - but I’m only a very early intermediate- just about surviving on blues having only recently switched from snowboarding to skiing. We’d like a reasonably sized ski area with balanced levels of pistes to suit us all, and hopefully somewhere calm ish and family oriented (ideally no drunk skiiers like we found in Solden!). We would like some sort of town centre with places to eat and don’t want to have to get any busses to get to the pistes. Accommodation wise not looking for specific recommendations but regarding standards, we’d like some space- a big apartment, or otherwise a suite in a hotel with a pool, and ideally modern decor (which I think probably rules out Italy). And no more than roughly a 2 1/2 hour transfer from a well served airport. Budget is healthy and would rather spend a bit more to go to the right place. Good snow is really key- we’ve had two bad years in February at lower altitudes and it’s not helped my progress when I’m battling with slush and moguls!
I had been thinking Zermatt but I’m not sure if it’d be a bit too difficult for me?

We used to go to Val Thorens at Easter. Always snow sure. We did several years there at Easter to fit in with school and university. Look at Les montagnettes for quality chalets. We generally stayed in lombardes which was really nice.
