review from a local!

Sun 15 April 2012 alessia

I'm a snowboard teacher from La Thuile! I'd like only to give some more info: now we have a snowpark! (I am the manager of it) and also: we don't have many schools, we only have one, and probably you had lessons with some old teacher who "like more showing they're good than teach you"... next time ask for young ones!! thanks, bye bye!!

An okay freeriders resort with some nice powder spots and trees to ride. Also good for carving but the slopes can be a bit tricky at the lower sections.
