We skied in St. Moritz for a day while staying in the much cheaper Livigno in Italy, from where you can book day excursions to St. Moritz. Be careful to purchase the right lift pass in Livigno, which will allow you a discount on the expensive day pass in St. Moritz. I would recommend skiing in St. Moritz just for the experience and the sake of having been there. There is a good variety of runs, mainly suited to the upper intermeidate skier (and above). The red runs are more challenging than in Livigno on the whole, but the skiing experience is severely marred by the fact that most slopes in St. Moritz are totally over-crowded, and therefore very accident-prone. You can see some skiers in expensive outfits taking private lessons in order to progress from their snowplough turns. Be sure to stock up on your Swiss chocolates in the supermarket on the left, as you come out of the cable car and allow some time for walking through the village and having a cup of coffee in the pedestrianised area. The architecture is chocolate-box and more suited to a town than a village. If you would like to try bob-sleighing, you can. St. Moritz offers more variety of activity than your standard ski resort, but for excellent skiing go somewhere else.
