I don't think you'll be disappointed Tony

As long as they are speedway teams )
No. I'm not keen on paying £20 to have gravel thrown in my eye.


Tony,

You can always wear ski goggles :)
My "local" team won the country championship + 2 of it's riders were individual World champion and a Runner up this season.

It IS good fun, comes second only to skiing :!:

Civetta - Marmolada is a great resort. It is often called the Queen of the Dolomites! I would recommend you have a look at it as an option.

Thank you Josh :thumbup:
It's going to be Cervinia/Zermatt this January :)
I could not bear poor snow conditions for the second season running and so far it does not look too good in Dolomites :cry:
At least in Cervinia/Zermatt they have got 4 glaciers.
However I'd love to ski Marmolada in future.
Perhaps next time round, in March if we are lucky.

Thank you everyone for your participation :!:
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Just back from Corvara. Great spot and the on-piste snow is great. Off-piste is non-existent though.

Looks like we have a second chance to ski in Dolomites this winter!
BUT: will there be any snow left on 17 March???
As I take 3 beginners this time Arabba/Marmolada is not ideal :cry:
Or should I look elsewhere?

Was in arabba two Weeks ago, the snow was ok, it was holding up really well although huge amount man made. Historically dolomites don't normally get the same amount of snow fall as alps, this year no different.
I would not exclude dolomites on snow at the minute but on the other factors that you base selection on resorts

Hi,

Thanks for your advice :thumbup:
I guess it is not perfect for beginners?
