I'd recommend a Canadian made ski jacket by "Avalanche" if you can get it in Banff. They do not sell to individuals outside of Canada, but do have a few boutiques sdelling to public there. Their skiwear is very well made and warm (100g) or very warm (150 g of insulation). They are used by 3 Valleys instructors and moutain rescue and Crystal reps among many others.

I can mention many, the Aravis, top of mottolino looking towards Bormio & Stelvio, views from Monte Moro towards the Monte Rosa I could continue but I'm bored .......

Thank you Ian for your 3 pennies :thumbup:

Would Monte Moro pass come under Saas Fee resort?

Of course it is, Ally :)

Hi Gaz C,

Thank you for your vote :thumbup:
Would you be able to pick a resort or two within Dolomites as your favourite for views?
i think it is a bit unfair on other ski areas as Dolomites are so vast and encompass so many resorts?

Hope to hear from you:)

If you were to pin me down to a single resort then I suppose it would be Cortina d'Ampezzo. Ve-eh-ry ni-ii-ce. I've never stayed there, (don't think I'd want to) but I've driven through en route to the Val di Fassa resorts. As well as being very picturesque in it's own right, it's very handily situated for some of the most stunning Dolomite scenery such as Cinque Torri and Tofana. Some of the views from the Marmolada, a bit further towards Arabba, are also pretty mind-blowing.

Thank you Gaz :wink:
