A special women's parallel slalom event was held yesterday on the Seiser Alm at Italy's Val Gardena to mark International Women's Day.
The race, staged at Baita Sanon, brought together 40 two‑woman teams ranging from friends to sisters and mother‑daughter pairs, with entry open to participants aged 18 to 99.
Part of the registration fees supported the Gea Social Cooperative, which works to combat violence against women.
The @dolomites_dirndl_ski_day unfolded under clear skies, delivering a lively mix of sunshine, skiing and celebration.
Organisers say that the atmosphere remained upbeat throughout, rounding off the day with a festive gathering on the slopes.
"Sun, skiing, fun, and a great party!" one commentator concluded.
