The French? They can't get the grading consistent in a single area! Their thinking in Val D is if it joins the flatish bit up top with the town it must be blue.
Blue?

It is a long time since I have been to Andorra and I can't remember any half decent blacks, but then again skiing is not all about blacks for me any way.

If they graded it as red it would be brilliant as it wouldn't be full of terrified snow ploughers with their confidence shot to pieces.

It's Strange, I would never class Val as a beginners resort, it would not be a resort I would go to as
a beginner.
a beginner.

There are loads of runs that are perfect for beginners in Val D, but I wouldn't take them back to base via Santons until later in the week if they're up for a challenge and the snow is good. Much better to bring them down into La Daille and jump on the bus (there's also a great little bar there for a vin chaud)
We've had beginners on our trips in Val D'Isere and they've progressed really quickly.

So do you think the slope in that vid would be like close to a black in Andorra?
