Absolutely, if Santons blue (Val D'Isere) was in Andorra it would be black.

I thought Santons was green at the moment?
:mrgreen:

I wouldn't take a beginner down it at the moment.

A dusting in Val D'Isere this morning too.

That's a great answer OldAndy, can't add a great deal to that.

It progress your technique, you need to ski slopes that offer a challenge. Not too much of one, just on the edge of your comfort zone.
When conditions are good, be bold. A little more cautious when they aren't.
In Andorra slopes tend to be graded on the generous side. A lot of the reds would be blue in France.

tspill, the tunnel is in Alpe D'Huez. Love this vid!
