@moosepig, Yes, Tate Ronde is great fun but Jerusalem probably pips it. I love the Gran Risa down to La Villa.

+1 It's a fantastic run - I recall it felt like it was never going to end (5km approx).

Yep, see also Piste 3 on the Mottolino side of Livigno.
Downside of both is that they tend to be absolute s**tshows in terms of number of skiers, best attempted late in the day.

Too many to mention in the Alps but mustn't overlook home snow:
- Spring Run & The Flypaper, Glencoe.
- Summit Run & Goose Gully, Nevis Range.
- Ciste Gully & White Lady, Cairngorm.
- The Tiger & Glas Maol, Glencoe
- Any complete run at Weardale, Yad Moss or Raise - as it's always such a bonus to ski there.

Aiguille Rouge, Combe, Belette - Les Arcs

Pramint - St Martin de Belleville (I prefer it to it's neighbour the ever-popular Jerusalem).

@mountainaddict, well said.
Having previously enjoyed the delights of the Glenshee and Cairngorm runs you mention I got my first experience of the Spring Run and infamous Flypaper at Glencoe on 30th April last year. Wow.
I've never been to Beaver Creek so can't comment on that one but I love all of the others on ansta1's list. Flypaper, however, was a whole different ball game to any of them.

Kind of ironic because all the chaps pistes have been ruined by girls halfway down crying that "it's too steep" or "my ar$e looks massive" etc etc.

Prefer that to Saslong. Which is handy, cos all the hoards go to Saslong cos they've heard of it, and leave Gran Risa empty for me

can't disagree there. it's a bit of a slog at the end or a walk for those that insist on going sideways with their feet tethered together.

Any piste whatsoever that was bashed the night before, that subsequently picked up 30cm of fresh snow overnight and that you're on first thing before the lemming masses destroy it

Agreed, but I'd rather have just 5-10cm of fresh snow, not 30cm. It's more inclined to get out of my way and is more flattering to one's skiing.

Didn't realise Saslong had any kind of reputation as a decent piste, however when there last month I absolutely loved it. Great piste.
