Weekend skiing from Venice (Treviso)

Hi

Looks like I might be able to squeeze in a weekend travelling Thursday
17th - Sunday 20th. However, due to hubbys work we can't leave till
after 6pm on Thursday and have to be back Sunday night - the 'best' fit
flights seems to be to Venice (Treviso)

We would arrive late Thursday night (22:30 ish) so would probably stay
near the airport that night, hire a car the next morning and head to
the slopes... question is which slopes? where's a good place to stay?
want a reasonably short transfer but my geography is pretty ropey so no
idea where to start looking.

Help!

Hi I am near Treviso and know well all Dolomites.
This is the perfect link for you:

I advice you:
Civetta the nearest
Arabba
Cortina the most expansive
Pan de corones far but superb
ciao

I've done a weekend ski to Venice a few times now. We've always gone
to Cortina because its less than two hours drive.
We always stay here http://www.cortina.dolomiti.com/alberghi/coronadip/
which is the annexe to the Hotel Corona (good food and has a bus stop
outside).
Despite its reputation for being expensive I found it quite reasonable
(as long as you dont do much shopping). I think you would only need a
local lift pass for the weekend which includes the incredible Lagazuoi
- Armentarola run.

Take a look here http://www.dolomiti.org/dengl/Cortina/index.html.
