Thanks for the tips

Love Sestriere san sicario and Sauze been going on and off for years sestriere has some really good runs lots to choose from but does depend on conditions they have the snow canons if cold enough should be ok

Off to Cervinia 3rd March first time going there any tips runs nice places to eat and après-ski?

I'm still glad I started this thread as it's important to report what's happening! Just returned today from passo tonale Verona airport part of Lombardy and Trentino luckily for us just left in tome as it seems now ski resorts are restricted skiing our resort down to 10 percent open with queuing restrictions of single file on lifts ... to be honest if u are booked I would seriously worry about going not sure where insurance stands right now! We were lucky as our resort almost dead and didn't share chairlifts hardly at all plus restaurant dead hotel dead and other times we stayed in our rooms evenings we ate lunchtimes on pistes with no people around! The worrying factor was coming into uk we didn't have our temperatures taken at all no checks even though was easy doing that going into Verona 1 week ago arriving! The government should be doing more here re travel and what decisions people make about cancelling! We are now at home with 14 days self quarantine because we are sensible people no one is making us do this!
All in all we made the best of a difficult situation ski holiday we enjoyed it but not 100 percent like normal! Hope everyone can take something from this!

I think it's useful for people to keep posting their experiences re ski at mo as the more info we have the better to make decisions

Lack Of precision and follow up of corona virus 

Lack of precision regardless corona virus : there have been a number of cases regarding people returning from Italy. Specifically a bunch of kids skiing in bormio. Where is the follow up? Were they covid19 positive? It is not acceptable to simply report cases linked to "Italy " when there are specific quarantined areas . Is it spreading ? Were they returning from the north or elsewhere. No wonder the government can't extend no-go areas if investigative journalists can't be bothered to follow up with any determination. I am currently skiing in Passo Tonale because my insurer expected me to go - if the bbc could have been bothered to do a bit more research into the risks of travelling to northern Italy I may have changed my mind! I rely on the tenacity of the bbc and you have been feeble in this instance. Public service broadcasting my derrière!! 

If the media want to do what it does best get involved and apply some pressure on this situation

Loads of people are cancelling skiing here in passo Del tonale our hotel has a handful of people I feel sorry for these people they say it's 70 percent down on people
On the upside we had a massive dump of snow yesterday never shared a chair lift or queue it's great skiing

Well I can tell u there's no lift queue today it's been snowing cats and dogs and we were the only people on the lifts and mountains I'm more worried about being killed by a white out right now .... I'm lightening up lol
