Welcome to the nuthouse! We're all driven a little mad by the white stuff here.
Pistes in Soldeu-el tarter

I'd agree that most of the reds wouldn't be reds anywhere else, the resort is a beginners and intermediate paridise. As for difficult blues, I can't remember thinking any shouldn't be classified as blue.
It's perfect for building confidence.

Having said that we did have a little bit of difficulty on one blue (that's 2 advanced skiers!) it looked lovely, deep snow nice gentle slope that they hadn't got round to pisteing yet, bomb down there for a giggle. The snow was 2 feet deep and the consistancy of porridge, very wet and very dangerous. You couldn't turn in it at all. Took us a while to pick our way down!

Not that that should worry you, you won't be looking for unpisted runs like we do. Generally the pisteing is superb.
How cold do you like it?

I've skiied in -22c in Tignes and -25c in the Sella Ronda.

Prefer just under freezing so the snow stays perfect.

The change was made back in July. Has it made a difference? Anyone who's already been skiing this season, were the prices lower?
