Agenterre, you can't censor something just because you think it's awful (isn't that sort of how the Nazis got so powerful?) This thread is better than the site it's talking about and some have been entertained and informed. Let's see if they overhaul it and get it right as a result of our collective input.

"The Rhone-Alpes are home to France's slickest resorts and monster peaks, and include the Isere, Savoie and Haute-Savoie regions. You'd be hard pushed to find a better range of terrain anywhere in Europe, with the possible exception of Austria (which has a heaftier price tag)."
my bold 
and since when has Austria been more expensive than Val D????

AxsMan, yeah, they do seem to think austria is mega-glitzy and over-priced for some reason. It means they haven't actually been there.
Hurtle, actually it was helpful (if a bit on the "tough love" side of helpful) and friendly enough.

Bode Swiller, Censor ??
.. my train of thought was more of the 'If he allows this to run , he's endorsing it' ... after all , other commercial spams/propositions here get deleted if they aren't endorsed , don't they? Therefore by not deleting  is endorsing ... QED ( well it would work in a pub !!)

Burn1911, try Edinbuuurgh, Scotchland... you can ski powder-laden lofty alps just at the end of Princes St.
Welcome. Yes, that site is nuts.

I'm not highly impressed. Not enough variety in resorts and the reports aren't accurate.
Where To Ski and Snowboard is still the best informative website on ski resorts.

I've just had a quick look around the site and frankly it all seems a bit pointless.
I chose to look up La Thuile as it is the venue for my next trip and i've not been there before. Unfortunately, it really did not have any insightful comment, just bland stats that could be found on any one of a dozen other sites.
What i really found objectional was the editorial style of the site which was at best, biased and at worst, biased and patronizing. An example of this is the write up of Sauze. According the them and to paraphrase, "if you go to this resort you are more likely to be interested in drinking than skiing".
As for the original crass marketing of the site, well, RUSTA has gone off with a well deserved metaphorical, bloody nose. If that makes him improve the site, then that is good for everyone, if his site dies from the bad publicity it so rigtly received, then vox populi has won the day.

According to Sauze d'Oulx's village information the nearest airport is Milan.
WRONG
Milan is roughly 2 hours 45mins.
Turin is about an 1 hour. It even qoutes this earlier. This website contradicts itself majorly. It has been poorly edited.

FAQ
- I actually found the website that they plagarised some of those details from, Freshpeaks is probably not a website I will use if I am needing location advice for a future trip!!
