The hardest run? I thought thats its name? Obviously not!!!re: Beginners Doing The Wall
cheers Judith. Having tackled a dry nursery slope in tunbridge wells on sunday (with mist system - gnarly) i'm pretty confident i can handle that.

For those who don't know, the wall is a black run.It is steep but quite wide.
The 1st time you go to the edge and look down from the top. The question that comes to mind is "if I fall on this where will I stop", I know I have.
After 1 week it is possible to ski it if your turn technique and your nerve is good enough and most impotant of all if your instructor feels that you should try it, if he says no then pay up.
Enjoy your holiday

The name says it all. Its a BLACK run. Very wide, straight and not very long - BUT STEEP.
I have been three years running and never got to do the wall - but never wanted to either.

If you start the week in a group with an instructor though, there is no chance the group will progress to that by the end of the week. If you do a blue run you will be doing well.
Good luck!
