Corvara (Alta Badia) piste question

Hi Amirw11,

If you are talking about the piste that runs down to the Col Alto lift (and in fact behind a number of hotels and all the way down to the Col Alto hotel) then yes you will be fine. I don't remember it getting icy or moguls though note it does cross a road and occasionally skis need to be removed. However red run 4 would be unsuitable for you - the latter section is quite steep and often icy in the afternoon.
But to put the resort into context for you, it is a beginner/early intermediate's dream. The runs between Colfosco and Corvara will be a delightful way to re-discover your ski legs, and then ALL the blues above the Col Alto, to Pralongia and down to Armentarola, are wonderful cruising territory for cautious or early intermediates.
A couple of notes of caution: avoid dropping down into La Villa because the return would be difficult for you; and avoid going up to Piz Böe for the same reason.

Just occasionally, there has been a third gluwein, ( I have persuasive Austrian friends). This has resulted in skiing down in the dark, but still following the piste machine tracks.

...... as long as you are following behind the piste machines, this can be quite pleasant :mrgreen:. Being just in front of the piste machines or meeting them coming the other way can be seriously scary :shock:.
