Strajite Open?

Hi guys,

Looking at the list of runs, this is labeled as run 12. On the piste map this is the run on the right hand side. It was closed last year. Am I reading this correctly that for this season it will remain open, or has the numbering gone wrong?

on the right as you look down the mountain, not as you look at the piste map. Its a nice red with very steep beginning going into a flat run into the bottom lift - its nice to continue past there down a little ski road to the mid station gondola and this year ski the chain valog runs. Not many people go that way.
I imagine it was closed last year due to a lack of snow - there is a stream that runs across the piste and its pretty dangerous unless covered by a lot of snow. If we have ...

In which case I have the wrong name then. The one I thought it was and from the numbering on the piste map is on the right looking at the map.
Yes went down the one Mat is refering to last year. Good fun and yes bumpy at the bottom with a stream.
So any info on the long red on the other part of the mountain and what is this one called?

re: Strajite Open?

This is the old training run for the Olympic team and hasn't been open for many, many years. The piste apparently has stones that come through the snow making it dangerous. Or there could be another reason I'm sure. They keep it on the map to get the '65kms of runs' that the PR people keep on quoting, but it has not, and will not, be working.
