You are better off waiting for a late booking to see where the snow is ....

Here is the website of the Hotel Gran baita where the J2ski 2014 ski holiday will be based ...... late August on the way to the Dolomites I popped in to have a chat and see what the hotel is like.
The owners were very pleasant as you would expect and the hotel was clean and was typically Italian, Rustic charm with gym, sauna and seems to have an excellent reputation for food, well it is Italy. The Hotel is about 400 metres to the nearest lift and if you really feel that you do not want to walk the hotel will drop you off at the lift station in their free mini-bus. http://www.granbaita.it/en/ There are seventeen J2skiers already booked to go , a good mix of skiers and boarders and also a good mix of age groups from 12 to well it would be impolite to say .... as Ally has previously posted she has negotiated a excellent deal with the hotel, and we also have a discounted lift pass. There is still room if any other J2skier's and their families wish to come for a week of excellent skiing, great company and the odd glass of vino and one or two laughs. And the biggest benefit of all you get to meet Wickers :thumbup: We are also at the stage of buying J2ski bobble hats, I shall be wearing mine with pride 8) |
