Sousse Doux Olympic ski resort

We landed in Turin at 11:30am but were delayed due to losing a passenger. Eventually we took off to our resort in Sousse Doux in the mountains. The journey, although long, was very scenic and we were at the resort before we knew it. When we alighted from the coach, first thing I noticed about the ski resort was the lack of snow - not one flake to be seen. The sun was beating down on us and not a single snowbank in sight. We walked from the dropoff area to our hotel unit to be meet by a jaw dropping sight of the Italian alps and mountain range. We immediatly dropped our bags at check-in and headed to the nearest bar to sample local cuisine and beverages.

Eating is a must when on an activity such as skiing. Sousse has so many bars and restaurants to choose from. You can't go wrong if you find out where the locals eat. You cannot leave a restaurant without meeting the welcoming sound of an Apre-ski bar. Even if you're not in the mood to go out,it will soon change after a few beers and a glass of the local "grappa". But be aware, the grappa will hit you like a ton of bricks.

Nightclubs are a plenty in the area. We were regulars in every one of them and were not forgotten even after we left. I exchange numbers with some of the staff and are still in contact with them.
