Japan ,,wow ,, my friend never stops talking about his snowboarding trip to japan saying he's never seen deep powder like it . have a great time Andy

Have just booked Dolomites for mid-term :mrgreen:. Was there 2 years ago and really enjoyed it :D. The skiing was great, people really friendly and prices that put most other resorts, especially in France to shame. Sorry, I forgot, French ski resorts have no shame :shock:.

If finances hold up, I will probably also look at long weekend, probably in mid-March :wink:.

How did you book Dolomites from Dublin? Did you do DIY ?

Hi Gareth.

Yes, I have gone DIY. I am actually flying to Venice with Lufthansa through Frankfurt. It does involve changing planes but is very competitively priced (bags, including skis are included in the price) and total travel time is about 5 hours - a bit longer than a direct flight but I reckon you lose the travelling day anyway so no great issue with this. You could also fly with the lovely Ryanair to Bergamo, though the transfer will be longer (and more expensive).

I got a nice hotel through Booking.com. Its in Vigo di Fassa. Not directly on the Sella Ronda but reasonably close with regular skibus connections.

I am going out on the Saturday and back on the Sunday so will get 7 full days skiing :mrgreen:. Really looking forward to it - was there 2 years ago and had a fantastic time :wink:.

It used to be simpler when Aer Lingus flew direct to Venice but bizarrely, they only start the service to Venice in the middle of the mid-term week :shock:. Still it would be available for trips starting at the end of the mid-term :lol:.

Thanks Wanderer,
I always do DIY too but usually just 3 or 4 day trips.
It's a lot harder from Dublin now as Ryanair don't fly regularly to Grenoble or Turin which really limits the options.
Still never been to Dolomites but hope to get there in March.

*lip trembles* Not sure we're going anywhere snowy in 2015 ... Mr P wants to visit family on other side of world (and not in their ski season either!)
