Do u reckon that was a red slope. Chill factor website claims that the slope is 15 degrees gradient and is therefore a red run, but looks like a green to me.

It's steeper than it looks at the top, but towards the bottom the gradient changes to a gentler one. When I was in Meribel the start of the Reds were a lot steeper but not the entire distance of the course. It's the best equivalent to a mountain you are going to get here in the UK.
