Can't remember how long it took , but it was quite a long time and a bit of a 'ball-ache' to ski to Montgenevre from Sauze d'Oulx. Sansicario is the first staging post so it would take a little less time. I still think you'd be better off taking the bus (or driving) to Claviere/Montgenevre so that you can spend all day skiing that area. The problem with skiing there, besides all the 'faffing' with the lifts, is the danger of having to start thinking off setting off back almost as soon as you get there.
I personally think it's better to treat Sauze/Sestriere/Sansicario and Claviere/Montgenevre as two separate areas. There is some nice skiing to be had in Claviere/Montgenevre and it's well worth making the effort to get over there. :thumbup:
Yeah ,MPH and miles,You just change it in the options metric or imperial.Even after you saved your day skiing you can swap between the 2.
Also plots your runs on google map,speeds through out the day etc
Ill post some pics if you want

I also Used the Ski Tracks App on my iphone,which is every good and well worth 69 pence.I left im Km as it seems more.
Day Skied Lifts Max Speed
1 19.9 KM 14.5 Km 51.6 Km
2 20.1 KM 13.1 Km 67.3 Km
3 26.6 KM 19.6 Km 62.4 Km
4 29.9 KM 21.7 Km 67.7 Km
Max speed was always from the blue Button lift in Sestriere to the cafe at the bottom .I found out on day 1 if you didnt let it go half way down the slope you had a long walk.
