The ski road is a blue and not a particualrly difficult one. If you've been skiing before it will not be a problem for you. If you're a total beginner you'll be skiing it within a day or two (subject to snow!).
There's a couple of dodgy places that will test absolute beginners on the road (I know cos I had the piggy-ski my daughter down it last Sunday!) but should be OK for beginners within a few days.
If you're an OK skier it'll take you c.15-20 mins and is quicker than the gondola.
Last week it was fine at the top esp, after the dump of snow on Thurs/Fri but poor but still passable at the bottom.
