We are off to Reberty (Val Thorens) very soon with our daughter and family. I didn't learn to ski until my mid forties ( couldn't afford it) and the sheer drop of a blue run was enough to give me the shakes for the rest of the holiday. I envy kids that learned when they were 5-8 years old, I think that is by far the best age. Anyway, I am fine on blacks now although I don't like heights ( can't go up a ladder ) and hate that lift at Val D'isere where it goes up the ridge and then back down the other side. TBH I prefer moguls on a black as they keep my eyes firmly on the next bump rather than straying to take in the angle of descent.
The Dolomites are definitely my wife's favourite area. The way the rock changes colour during the day and the mixture of wooded and gently rolling hills is fantastic to chill out. I probably prefer Les Arc or the 3 Valley areas as you can cover a huge distance on a blue bird day and take in the whole area.
