Anyone know if the lift strike at Sauze has been resolved.

Done - and found interesting. You might like to contact Admin on ARRSE to se if they would like you to have a go there. Don't attempt this with out contacting Admin.

Was in Sauze late Jan and lessons started at 1000 hrs.

If you have the full Milky Way pass some of the ones I enjoyed are around Sansicario. The 79 runs into the Black (nothing to bad) Olimpica which was great fun and my wife who had steared away from blacks skied that and black 21 running along side. The 93 over in Claviere was great fun along with most of the reds in Sauze. Didn't spend any time Sestriers side this year.

Sauz-up mountain
Latte €2
Lunch- slab pizza, chips, small beer, water €11
Town large beer €2.50

I'm there 21 Jan so will give a quick update on my return.

I think much of this was sorted for the Turin Olympics but worth checking the piste map carefully for the dreaded "single chair"

I think it may have gone - went last April and it wasn't where I recall it being from a few years ago.

They have also changed the one in Sauze up to Sportina for a faster model.

Just received the following from Neilson:
HI, Italy has been introducing a tax slowly in each area over the last year and so it's now across nearly all resorts and is a pppn fee payable to the local town hall.
Most tour operators are asking guests to pay this charge directly to the hoteliers, however Neilson are covering the fee in the cost of the holiday. Hope that helps explain
