Milky way Easy/Hard red runs

Ok after all the debating and looking at different places ive decided to go back to Sauze and just booked for 20th March for 4 nights so hopefully getting 4 days skiing in!! Can't believe the deal i have just got flights to turin for 2 £180 including our bag and 4 nights in hotel for £160 for 2!! Who says skiing is expensive ive proved it can be done cheap ! Lets hope the snow keeps good but there are options if its not down low we are hiring a car for under £100 I'm happy !!!!!

Was in MW a few weeks ago.
I have mainly skied in the big French resorts. I would say the MW runs are graded about one full grade higher than France. So a red in the MW would be a blue in say VDI/Tignes/LA etc.
There aren't many real black runs.
For me, this was great news and I loved the runs. The slopes are very well looked after each night.

I loves the MW

Have a great time

Spot on. Nice easy cruises without any real surprises in the main, and grooming is very good to be fair.

Thanks all for the advice

This is pretty standard in Italy and most of the resorts I have skied in Italy,
But never the less it is one of my favorite places to ski and I will be back soon :wink:

Don't get too hung up on colour :roll: . The difficulty of a slope owes more to conditions than anything else. In good snow and well groomed pistes, everything is relatively easy :lol: . Conversely, in bad conditions, even a so-called easy blue can be horrible :twisted: . Try a busy, icy mogul led blue late in the day and see what I mean :shock: .

If you thinking of doing blacks for the first time, my advice is to ski it early in the day before it is too busy and chopped up. Pick a run that has been groomed and get there by about 11am -I.e. before the crowds get there but after the sun has had the chance to soften it a little bit :wink:

Enjoy :mrgreen:

Top advice as usual wanderer

This reminds me of my first ever red last year in Pas De La Casa,the centre one(Directa)back into the resort.We thought we try it at the end of the first day.Its quite steep at the the top but i started of ok then hit a few moguls froze and ended up on the side of the piste.I edged half way down until it was a bit flatter and started again.
The hotel receptionist said it more of a black than a red at the end of the day where it gets so cut up
We did try the bottom half of a few black where the reds cut across them but the were only 300-400 yards long.

Cant wait now
