  Not the best resort in France but very good off-piste if you know where to go. Also you can divide this place up in two parts. One part is old and forgotten; it consists of 1 old chairlift and many tow lifts, this might sound ugly but most people stick to the faster chairlifts higher up and newer part of SSA which means there's powder to be found days after a dump (fun mellow rolling fields with tree runs at the bottom) .If you get to the back tow lift Bartaveille walk up the hill to the south and go down the other side, it's a nice short powder run set at a nice angle and it takes you to the newer part of SSA.
  Go to the top which is the highest point in Les Sybelles and if there is still powder on the marked off-piste area go there, its fun. Many other places to be found up there but I won't tell you where :)
  SSA beats any other resort in the Sybelles area and I will be there first week of this season and that means untracked powder fields baby!

  This is a great area resort for beginners, as well for more advanced skiers and snowboarders. Because of the connections (liasions) between the other resorts (e.g. Le Corbier, La Toussuire, those are the biggest) you have over 300 km piste. When there is sufficient snow, which has always been there ever since we went there first 10 years ago, it's sooo good. Because of the absence of cabin lifts, you can go up really fast without having the go out your snowboard.
  You can go off-piste real good, and it's not crowded there. You do not have to wait long very often (in Christmas holiday).

  I'm going to Saint-Sorlin and I hope there will be enough snow. Thanks to snow-forecast.com I have got something to hold on to.

  Probably a nice resort when there is sufficient snow. There is a lot of off-piste potential.
  Unfortunately, last week, many runs were closed or slushy and the off-piste was a no-go area. There are some nice seated lifts but many (upper) runs have tow-lifts.
  Boarders beware!!!
