Agenterre, I'm confused. So what's this thread for, then?

Hurtle, It's the 'last' post on that link. Hoppo always does 'feedback' threads so as not to mess up the 'flow' of that thread... does that make more sense? It isn't indexed yet as Hoppo is unavailable ...

Thanks for putting the feedback thread in as well, I seem to have lost my HTML powers (or forgotten how to use them) - so I can't update the index at the moment... I have put a link into your first post though.

Any views on where would be more fun for off-piste? Thinking about heading up to one of these places for a day over the Christmas period

Arno, Anywhere at the moment .. I dont know off-piste but Auron is possibly the best. You might pm Davidof, he used to live here and would advise as he knows all the resorts intimately.
Only issue at the moment is actually getting to the resorts .. so much snow on them.

Agenterre, i was thinking Auron might be the best option in terms of relatively easy to get to (ie just get to St Etienne de T at 1150m and take a lift) and interesting terrain. Might have a trawl through pistehors

@Agenterre, I LOVED this review of the Maritime Alps. So much good information! How do these resorts compare with the adjacent Italian resorts (e.g. Limone)? Thank you.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@ Ken in LA Thats subjective I guess.
Limone, as a resort, is generally very much colder in my opinion. and its pistes generally harder than Isola. Isola, as a resort, has improved imo over the years and its skiing has never been too challenging.
The biggest difference ( and sorry for stating the obvious) is that Limone is very Italian,  whilst Isola is Franglais, or rather a winter version of the Cote d'Azur. Valberg and Auron remain my favourites ... even though I can 'see' the North slopes of L'Audibergue resort I never go there apart from with my MTB.
This year seems very unlikely at the moment and snow is still poor
Ultimately if I had to chose Limone vs the A-M resorts and was flying in my choice would be driven by which airport I was flying to. Limone is best accessed from Genova whilst the A-M resorts are accessed from Nice.
