You do realise that "Sauze D'Oulx" is Italian for "Sod all snow," don't you?  Well, that's what we worked out after two trips there in the nineties...
Nice pic - proper snow that.
Edited to say that the Italians pronounce the name of the place in a different way to most people in the Uk, who call it "Sow-zay Doo". The Italians say something like "Sowwwwzeh Dulchay".

Peter Ross, I only say so after my visit to the Moguls for the Olympics in Feb (did I mention I'd gone to the Olympics everyone? ) and I had to put up with the idiot presenter on the day going, "are you rrrreeeedddddy Soooouwzeh Dulchaaaaaay..." every minute or so...

I think the British people's pronunciation is affected by their knowledge of French. The Italians are quite happy to pronounce the last letter of a word, so I'd expect the "x" to be so. That said, I've never heard an Italian actually say the name, so can't comment further.

carled, I have usually heard it pronounced as "Sow-zay Doo" by Italians but it depends on where in Italy they come from. In many parts it is apparently known as "Salice" (pronounced Sal-eech-ay).

The proper Italian pronunciation is Sauze Doolcs.

Don't make me get out my home video of the moguls with the accompanying lunatic announcer to prove you all wrong...
(You'd have thought a local would have corrected him after the first few dozen attempts if he was persistently getting it wrong, wouldn't you...?)
