I've gone all retro and in the last three days, I've bought....

1. An early 1980's pinball machine
2. A genuine American 'Walk Don't Walk' sign
3. An 8 track player and 20 cheesy 1970's tapes

The 1st two work well but I have my doubts about the third. I'm awaiting it's delivery and will probably have to get my spanner out.

I think someone is pining for their youth.

What is going on?? Get the wibble off the other threads and back here. We are not doing Snapzzz proud!

In fact, where is snappy? :roll:

I can think of plenty more resorts that over grade runs to suggest their resort is more challenging that it really is.
It's a lot of years since I was last in Sestriere, but from what I can remember the rating was pretty fair.
I'm not sure which the Olympic run is in Sestriere, so can't compare. I remember the World Cup run, that's not as challenging as the Face.
