Thanks for good news :thumbup:

Please keep us updated :!:

Fingers crossed it will be powdery )
Don't forget to report back to the forum, pls :wink:

Thanks :thumbup:

That is what we need, exactly )
Good food and coffee.
Will check it out on our first day of skiing which should be 15 January.
Would you remember if it was a run down from Plateau Rosa or Theodul Pass as there are 2 border crossings from Zermatt?

Kind regards,

I really can't wait now and already doing the Mrs's head by looking at the Snow forcast everyday!!

Hi Matt,

We had the same dilemma and just booked a week in Cervinia :)
I will probably get International ski pass and spend some time on Zermatt's slopes.
However We DO like Italian food and coffee )
And a day trip to Pila is supposed to be special!

I am sure we will enjoy it :!:

Regards,

Good news as we just booked our January trip there :thumbup:
Is there a frequent ski bus service between Cervinia and Valtourneche?
What are the best mountain eateries?
Best Apres-ski venues?

Cheers,

Josh.

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...

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 :!:

Hi,

I read on italian website Dolomiti that new 3-stage gondola link between Madonna Di Campiglio and Pinzolo is due to open this Christmas :thumbup:
Do you think it is going to happen?
If so would this skiing area become one of the best in Italy?

Cheers,
