Hi El-Taco
You seem quite committed to "teach yourself" skiing. Thus may I tactfully suggest using youtube and typing in Skiing or learning to ski or similar. There are some really useful short on line lessons that would benefit you and will give you the shortcut of how to do things properly as opposed to trial and error. But enjoy! -) |

Traditionally the reds in Italy are usually a little easier than say French or Austrian reds so all in all I found most of the reds in The Milky Way Ok. Italian piste bashing is renowned for excellent grooming so most slopes will be billard table flat(...on a slope!).However as with everything there are always exceptions...early morning if they are icy, late afternoon if they are bumpy or busy. The good thing about Sestiere is that the red pistes tend to be quite wide so I am sure that if you are cautious you will be fine. Try heading for Sauze D'Oulx as the slopes there are very pleasant.
But most of all, don't panic , ski within your own limits and enjoy! :) |
