Not the best one to ask but looking at the piste map there seems a wealth of reds and blues and normally the Italians do over grade their pistes.

You can ski back to resort but the bottom of the run is very crowded and often very slushy. Some prefer to take the Sportinia lift down if they have tired legs. I think it's worth skiing down and sampling the vast aperitivo on offer in the bar in the lift building. The more often you're there the better it gets. We spent a lot of our apres ski there last year.

Conditions permitting, you'll be able to ski back to resort, best route is down the Clotes piste. However, its often really rubbish on the last leg so you might want to take the last chair down. Its happens a lot sadly.
Head over to Sestriere for better snow, and a day in Montgenevre.
Enjoy the bars.
