We got some very cheap flights into Cuneo and hotels in Limone Piemonte are offering good deals for accommodation plus ski-passes so we're very tempted. However, information on the resort is not too easy to come by. Anybody know what it's like for intermediates? How would it compare to the Reds in Austria for example? A friend who has been to Prato Nevoso which is close by says that he heard that the reds in Limone were pretty steep. Our group is of mixed ability but all have skiied for a few years, we can manage most of the reds in Austria but are beginning to worry that Italy's reds (or Limone's) may be a shade of black due to my friends comments! Anybody got any nformation/advice?
It's a Guinness thing......

tripadvisor is usually a good guide to a place as it is made up of travellers experiences..I contribute myself

Yes ,thats what the website says but ,I contacted our hotel and they are closing the lifts from the 14th so I have very disap kids here at present not to mention their parents-app there is still lots of snow but there isnt enough people to warrant keeping the lifts open -the lifts in resorts closeby are open only at weekends-we chose the location for its proximity to the coast so we might have to visit it afterall.Should we try the resorts closeby in France?
