A group of lads from Birmingham
We had a great time, snow conditions so the locals say the best since 30 years both this year and it seems also last year.
We stayed in a great little family run hotel just by the piste, Franco and Patriza looked after us, the rooms were excellent,food plentyful and perfect position for sking.
Flew in with Ryan air from East Midlands for a ridiculous price and booked all we needed through skiinitaly.com.
The owner, ex-rep from 18 years Christine made travelling independently so easy.
She booked all we needed from the transfer from Turin,recommended the hotel as above,the ski hire with free ski lockers or helmet ( New K2 Apache skis and twin tip public enemy!! at almost the same price of standard skis),
Christine also offers discounted ski school and The CHEAPEST lift pass in town.
What can I say Mega resort for skiing and more, great night life, value for money drinking happy hours.
Email christine @ skiinitaly.com with your needs she will do the rest and say hallo to her from Sean and the gang

Never again...
Just got back from a nightmare trip to Sauze d'Oulx. A group of us went early in the season, they had received a massive amount of snow which got us all excited... until we realised that they hadn't prepared any lifts, any pistes or anything at all.
I've been to about 11 or so ski resorts in Europe and Sauze and the surrounding area is the worst by far.
The snow was amazing but thats as far as it goes. The whole ski areas lift system is the worst designed thing ever, skiing connecting areas is a nightmare and the runs are very limiting. The red runs are more like blues and we couldn't find a single challenging run. The lifts are mostly out of date and very slow.
What lifts and pistes they choose to open close very early. The food and drinks prices are disgusting. The town is horrible, badly organised and a little bit of snow and the whole place shuts down. The people running this resort should hold their heads in shame. Do not get a taxi - biggest rip off ever.
I could go on about how bad this place is but all I can say is do not go here, it may be cheap but there is a very good reason for that. Pay slightly more and go somewhere half decent.
All my trips to the French alps have been far superior to my Italian trips, I will never be going skiing in Italy again.
Read other reviews and see for yourself, especially those written by people who have been to other ski resorts.
