I went to St A Saturday for a day. I basically hated it. It was booked solid, overcrowded, and the piste traffic dangerous. The blacks I tried were pretty normal and in OK condition, the long red I skied (top to bottom of Rendl) was difficult, but the blue down from Grampel lift was seriously challenging by any standards (both I and the very experienced Austrian I was with found that blue significantly tougher than the blacks, a point perhaps deserving its own thread).

The fact the nice black short cuts on the horrible and overcrowded blue piste in question were deserted, suggests I am not alone in this irrational reaction.
