Mr Btp - you are not going to like this. Hate to bring bad news.


There is quite a lot of flat spots :oops:

When you come down the main run into the restaurants, centre of lifts etc it is quite flat (the skiing and boarding starts half way up the hill). From a skiers perspective it is fantastic - some nice wide runs that yoou can go flat out and and easily reach 50mph - bit flat at the bottom, but at that speed it does not matter. I saw alot of boarders doing their funny frog walk :lol:

It is marginally better over in Sestriere, but the lifts at the bottom are in one long line.

You need to do what i did with my GF - take up skiing!!! It is much more fun.

Boarding is a dying breed, the average age of a boarder is just below 30* - not really "RAD MAN" 8)

where has my review gone? :(

Tony is in bed at 7pm with a hot chocolate and bed socks on ;)

I use a Tog24 hydration pack, they are good. Enough space for 2 litres of water and also a fleece, hat, chocolate bar. I have never had the bladder freeze and dont have an insulated tube - just drain it back to the bladder after use.

No offence icy, but in the words of Comic Book Guy 'without a doubt, worst review ever!'

No, Adders said do a one liner on what resorts you would like to review ;)

I think adders' idea is the best way. If someone wants to go to France, they will simply visit the France thread and find a relevant resort. With the current method you have to read through all the Austria, USA, Italy to get to France - that could be on page 27 of 100 :shock:

That's my three penneth. Adders' way rules :D :thumbup:

Maybe we could agree to give scores for ski quality, range for abilities, price of food/drink, quality of accomodation then an overall score. That way, if I give somewhere a 6 out of 10 because the nightlife was rubbish - that might not matter to someone else. Same is I said all teh runs were far too easy - some people may think that is good. What you think - but like trip advisor :)

I think the tour continues into Italy in February. February is where the big season party is :)
