I love this resort. I've been twice and am planning my next trip. One of the best things about it is the lack of queues for uplift. Even the weekends the queues are relatively short (compared to e.g. the big French resorts). Apart from one or two bottle necks that are easily avoided, the uplift is very good. The ski pass is reasonably priced, as is the food in many of the mountainside restaurants. I usually stay in Aosta and there you can eat very well at regular restaurant prices. Up in Pila there is less choice, obviously, but you are only a 20-minute cable car ride away. I would say I am intermediate rider (snowboard) and there is lots of terrain to keep me busy here. If you go for 2-3 days (as I usually do) you won't get bored. I imagine there is enough terrain to keep most people entertained for a week's stay, but if you are the type of person who wants to take in new terrain and routes each day, Pila itself may be a little small for a week's stay. But then there are all of the other resorts very close by in the Aosta Valley, easily reachable by car. Finally, in this resort I get an overall impression of friendliness and openness, which is something other resorts I have visited (outside Italy) have lacked.
