DaveB, Montgenevre. Better snow record, better lifts, it's just better.
I just got back from Sauze d'Ump - not my choice, it was a corporate jolly and I think the organisers now wish they'd chosen elsewhere. A great time was had by most but quality is lacking in just about every department. I hadn't been near the place for over 25 years and, frankly, it hasn't moved on a bit. Some of the chair lifts must be 40 years old. The place just seems like a tour operators' dumping ground for the cheapo last-minute packages. Had hordes of male groups bar crawling, saw a street fight involving a pool cue and generally am left feeling a bit sad for the place. Only upside was how reasonable the drinks were and Vagabond had a couple of good live bands. Skiing's OK but not very testing or varied. Despite other reports on here, the snow was alright... I didn't hit any rocks.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Montgenevre all the way. I love the place.
At the moment, the snow is detteriorating. But snow is forecast. However the snow at Sauze isnt in a good state and apparently there are loads of rocks and small stones all over the pistes leading to wrecked skis.
Montgenevre has great diversity in slopes form steep blacks to great off piste and gentle curising blues and greens.
people are very friendly in Montgenevre and there is decent food.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Montgenevre, then if you want an italian flavour you can ski over to claviere and eat/drink there. If it snows, you're also only a short drive to serre chevalier for even more varied skiing.
i've just put some photos up from last week at montgenevre on my flickr site

I'm just back from a weekend in Sauze and we went over to Montgenevre for a day. The snow is better at the latter as are the lifts. However the food is shed loads better in Sauze. Didn't see the town in Montgenevre as we started and finished from a lift station in the back end of beyond.
Bode Swiller, is right about the punters in Sauze ... absolute trash (stay out of Paddy Maginty's) ... however the Italians there are absolutely lovely.
