Arabba

nice one Lynn [and Dave Mac :D].
I fear the snow may be a tad softer when we get there :cry: but, what the hell, I'm going to enjoy it.
Does anyone know if there's a bar that plays football in Arabba? Please don't judge me but there's a rather important match next wednesday that can't be missed :oops:

Don't know about the footie, but there is snow forecast for next week, which is good news....

There was a bar/hotel we found which showed footy up from the Brigette Chalet. We watched scum lose last time we were in there :mrgreen:.

Was dinner time when we were in Arabba when it was packed on the slopes and Im sure they would of been doing the Circuit. Selva was much better for getting around than Arabba, just felt more central to get anywhere. You can also hit the the Alpe Di Siusi which is an excellent ski area, you would be clock watching if you were getting there from Arabba.

I actually stopped looking yesterday as it kept changing so much. Last I saw there was a dump due on saturday morning so, as happened to Lynn, I fear a loooong transfer. Still it could never be as bad as the 7 hours to Les Arcs :evil:

Thanks MFC, the chalet staff should know then. I'm not sure how far from Arabba I'll be travelling this time, I'll know better after day one :mrgreen:.
Nice photos :thumbup:

Betty,
Can I ask you something...?
Do you wear impact shorts when boarding - how essential do you think they are?
We got the wrist guards for our 14 yo, but not sure about the shorts yet....

Should this have been a pm? Please be gentle with me for my 1st wander off topic....

(And it's not me who's gone to the dark side ) )

In Arabba I will mostly be wearing... [see what I did there :lol:]

I wore impact shorts when I did the learning course but found that the only part of my side/derrier area that I needed padding for was my coccyx. I hated the shorts, they were very uncomfortable so I found a coccyx protector on the internet. It's quite unsightly and bigger than I'd hoped for but at least I can take it out when we stop for lunch, etc. If I take to it I'll go for something a bit more to my liking.

I've also got borrowed boarding gloves with guards but mr-a has the guards to put in his gloves. Lastly I have knee pads which are essential for me as, apart from anything else, it's uncomfortable to kneel after acl replacement.

I reckon a youngster may get away with a little bit of padding of some sort round the coccyx but, apart from that, you could really go on forever :shock:

Given the steep slopes in Arabba I think my coccyx protector will be well used :evil: :twisted:

great!!!

Does my bum look big in this comes to mind :lol:
