im an italian kid, i go every year to sauze for ski!!! thats amazing❤

Literally just arrived in Lyon (17:00 27th Jan) en route to Montgenevre then to Sauze......many thanks for the shout-out.....'go on Wakey' 😂😂 love it....if you see a bright yellow VW T5., give us a wave...

Hi James, for the beer afficionados that are not keen on lager, you can get German weissbier (I think thats how you spell it) in many of the bars both on the hill and in town and........ along with the sunniest smile in Sauze you can get a Dunkle (dark and very tasty beer) in Bar Clotes. Cheeeers!

The links were not open and couldn't be because of the wind even locals at the hire centres were left wondering why. There was no wind at all Tuesday !! and the bowl was closed the links too , funny that they suddenly open at the weekend , when the wind has been no lighter. Our group has been going to Sauze for many years and we have made the decision not to go any more its just not good value when there is only a couple of runs open and have to get taxis to other parts of the ski area . No refunds on the life pass either. Horribly icy in Sauze because of the rain early in the week and temperature hit a high on Friday of 24 Celsius in the town. I think it's unfair that you're not a bit more honest about these reports to set peoples expectations before they arrive and so they can make plans to visit other areas like Sestriere that had all of the lifts open and was in fact good skiing.

"Links shut, icy conditions, patches appearing" this was all mentioned in the video so I'm not sure why you're insinuating that we're hiding anything. We filmed the report on Friday when conditions were a lot better. We can only report how we find it. If you have non typical winter conditions then you have to expect variable piste conditions. Also we spoke to many people that week who despite the conditions had a great time. I accept that not everyone did and there was frustration with the links being shut. We are not going to engage in speculation or conspiracy theories as to why the links were shut. Vialattea said it was gusting at the top of Fraiteve so that was the reason they were shut. The same week Cervinia had 1 lift open so it's not just here that suffered. I think judging by our email inbox we are setting expectations as many people are requesting information on how to get to Montgenevre or Sestriere. We will continue to report it as we find it as that's all we can do.

@@Sauzeonline James, your reports are much appreciated and looked forward to every Friday. The problem is whoever is running Sauze d’Oulx doesn’t seem to value the end user. So many years I’ve been and hardly any investment in infrastructure. It seems they close runs mid week when tourist want to use the slopes but then open them all at the weekends for the locals. Is this just trying to save on running costs? Why are the links closed at the slightest puff of wind? That’s just an excuse to save money midweek. How can the Monty slopes stay open with the same wind/weather? It looks like this years conditions are poor, very poor everywhere. I’m in Andorra at the moment and I’ve never seen such warm temperatures and thaw/freeze conditions…..horrible, and no more snow forecast for the next 2 weeks !! You have a business to run promoting Sauze so it’s in your interests to paint a rosey picture, understood. My perception is visiting tourist/skiers love Sauze (and your reports) but hate the way it is being managed and run. Looking forward to your report this Friday 😊

Hi James, Just want to say a huge thank you! We Skied to Montgenevre last week and you booked us a cab much appreciated under George Thorp on Monday 22nd. Montgenevre was just incredible highly recommend anyone to go and experience it. Epic week great skiing and love the videos keep it up! The ski hire at the bottom of clotes was brilliant through Sauze Online as well! We will be back! Thanks Jake.

Anyone new to Sauze skiing and boarding in San Sicario is really nice and you can ski board half way to Sestriere and catch little gondola back up or into Sestriere..Sosta bar on slopes,at Sauze great at end of day next to slope in sunshine

i've just come back to UK from Sestriere, snow is melting quickly, I was there for a week and big difference from Day 1 to Day 5. Still a very enjoyable time, but hard to tell how it will be in a couple of weeks time if these temperatures continue

Hi! I’m due to go out on Sunday. Any updates on how conditions are? Thanks

We've just returned today from Sauze d'Olux. We had a fantastic week but snow conditions were very poor on our last day (Saturday 27th Jan). Most runs were very icy throughout (hard pack ice) and challenging for even the most experienced skiers. Not sure if this snow report is reflective of the true situation...
