Bormio
Started by User in Italy, 11 Replies
I am lucky enough to be about to head out to Bormio for the season-will be going there from Dec to April!
Got job working for a race company teaching the kids maths in the afternoons!
Has anyone been to Bomrio or Livigno for that matter as its clsoe by and got any info about it?
I keep reading "windy valley" and "off piste is illegal" which isnt promising.....

Also want to get a big Self catered or Catered chalet for mates in April in Livgno but cant find ANYTHING really anywhere-trying to get them to come to me so I dont have to pay for a lift pass elsewhere!
Plus Livigno looks pretty sweet-any opinions?
Free ski carriage with Ryanair

Hi Wickers
I have just been looking at the Ryanair flight free nonsense thing and it doesnt appear to be on the Bergamo flight path?
I will be flying out at the start of Dec to go to Bormio and therefore flying into Milan-du think i am just missing the start of the season as I have been able to get it (inc all the extra guff) for 60quid

Looking for anyone who has stayed here especially in the "hamlet" called Le Villard?

Looking at getting a large self catered chalet for the 2 weeks at easter and there are a few here but worried it may be miles out the way.

One of the ones I have looked at is l'Orcières-any ideas???

Cheers :D :D

fair point ellistine-if you can ski on snowflex the real deal will be brilliant fun!

Both the 2 local dryslopes in Glasgow have "snowflex" on the jumps part of the slope-they have dendex on the learner slopes.
I have found it to be more realistic than dendex but still not a pleasant experience-very "skiddy" and hard to actually turn on properly.
They dont race on it because put simply I dont think you could get an edge to carve on!
good for jumps though because its dead springy!
go and try it out
Great work!

Sounds liek good banter, how much was it? You sound about my level of freestyle ability!

Martin is a really decent instructor-he has just back from zermatt and i think is off again next year-hate him!

seems like a crazy idea but just to pull this back towards topic......

I did NOT like the aero GT ski-demoed last years model and really got nothing out of it turning wise-if you want something that is easy to turn you need to try the Rossignol 9S-doesnt need to be race model, put a huge grin on my face but maybe try the 9X as it comes in a little longer for GS turns.

That Fischer Progressor is a decent ski too

I ski the scott RC and love it-maybe try them too? they are a toned down skier cross ski

let us know what you choose! :D
