The only thing to add to YoungAndy's response is that run grading is not a precise activity ~ there are blues in one resort, that would be called red in another resort.

Theres blues in St Anton that would be black in others. Dont get hung up on the colour/grading. If you are competent and confident, just ski it. You can always walk/slide down.

Absolutely, if Santons blue (Val D'Isere) was in Andorra it would be black.

I thought Santons was green at the moment?

I wouldn't take a beginner down it at the moment.

That has always been a bug bare for me is the consistency of piste Grading, You have the Italians that over grade and the Austrians it seems under grade, I suppose it is left to the French to show the ski world how it done.
