Last day of a 2 week stay this year and not much has changed. The gondola queue is crazy if you're not there between 7.45 and 8.15 when you'll walk straight on. Arrive at 9 and you'll be standing around for over an hour. The ski area hasn't changed and is still good. Lift pass prices are high at €59 per day, at least when you consider what that money gets you in terms of ski area. I was also disappointed by the 'discount' for buying longer passes, it wasn't really worth it when considering the rule of the pass being valid for consecutive days rather than days skiing. In town is much the same, nasty up top, traditional and lovely in town. I worried I might be bored staying two weeks but had a great time. I'd do it again next year.
