The latest reviews I'm seeing are from 2022. I've been working here for 30 years, and just don't recognise the resort in some of the comments. It's great for beginners most years (2024 is not one), with masses of skiing right in the village including up to red pistes, and I've taught off-piste lesson down there in the past. For experienced skiers it's very good - lots of blacks, lots of accessible off-piste, and lots of variety. I would say that the 2-4 week skier might be a bit disappointed though. There is no 'travelling' to other resorts, and those who cannot change how they ski might easily be bored. I can't speak about the snowpark as I don't do that, but it looks impressive! Pisting is mostly pretty good, but the decision to stay with the more eco friendly cannons has not worked out this year, as temps have been mostly too high to run them. SATA have taken over the running of the lifts and pistes, and it's been a welcome relief after several years of CDA taking out lifts, not replacing them, and clearly not giving a monkeys for the resort. So, do come!
