Snowbording and Sking in Sestriere, Italy

Hello,
Me and my friends are planning a ski trip in the winter of 2006-2007. We have looked at sestriere but we would like to get your opinion on a few points first.
*How is the site for Snowbording and for sking at intermidiate and advanced levels?
*is there an easy conection to the other parts of the Milky Way?
*What kind of night life is there for the young?
*Is there transportation to the other Villages and how long of a ride is it?
*And any general advice and opinions of the site will be great!!

Thanks a million,
Nadav

You asked about Sestriere

I may be biased as I am lucky to live in the area but the skiing here is as good as it gets in the Alps! You have 400km of pisted slopes and good links to get you around. It is good for both skiing and boarding. If you want mega nightlife you need to be in Sauze d'Oulx (Plenty of bars, Irish pubs etc.)but if you prefer something more sophisticated then Sestriere is the place.( Italian film & tv stars, football players etc.)

Ski buses are fairly frequent and cheap. These can ferry you to other parts of the Via Lattea but keep an eye on last bus timings and weather conditions.

Depending on your group size we may be able to help you out with your holiday. We offer special ski packages including discount ski passes and transport. Check our site http://www.belvederebedanbreakfast.com for more details.

Hi Kent, interesting to see you live in the Sestriere region. Have flights to Turin for next weekend and chasing the snow! How are the levels there at the moment? I'm not hearing good things.
