never seen such a congested mess there. my favourite piste and I think it is a black piste the top section is very steep and it is basically a downhill course what on earth are beginners doing messing it up even for good skiers if there is an icy year with poor snow the first bit is just blue ice. never seen a mogul field what a mess. Used to be lovely when quiet you could get up to 60mph beginners should be prohibited as you dont get a chance of a decent downhill with piste blockers at the bottom can be fatal. Carving skis are to blame shit skiers get everywhere. Miss my Valle d'Aosta !
I think (can't be absolutely sure) it was called C6 - Sarezza-Contenery. Why so crowded, I'm really not that sure! It was just after the lifts around the corner, there had been a big group of beginners which just got everything bunched up, after that it was completely clear. It was also a busy week over New Year.
@@GuyRatcliffe because that particular section is both very steep and narrow, so people naturally slow down / stop and take their time. Some even freeze. Its now been classified as a black run for the ski season 22/23.
It's always chaos with beginners on that run haha

Lol, never fails to amaze me even now the mess that day. It wasn't that ice from memory, actually more tons of snow and people couldn't handle it.

Good to know, thanks. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip.
Which run was that and why on earth was it so crowded? I'm heading to Champoluc in 3 weeks and was expecting empty pistes!
