Snowboarding in Italy end of March
Hi all,
I'm curently based in Trento in Italy (Monte Bondone is quite ok for weekends). In the last week of March, my girlfriend and I want to go snowboarding in the Italian alps. Any suggestions? We like wide open, not to steep slopes (no moguls!), but can get down red and some black ones ok if necessary. Powder would be great, but I guess will be rather unlikely at that time in Italy. We will have a car, and hence are reasonably flexible. So far I've heard good things about Madonna de Campillio and mixed reports about Predazzo. Any other suggestions? Does anybody know if we have to prebook rooms at that time of the year? Bye, Stephan FUp to rec.skiing.snowboard only. -- -------------------------- It can be done! --------------------------------- Please email me as (Stephan Schulz) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Snowboarding in Italy end of March
You could try Canazei or Val Gardena. It's a huge area, and it's part of
Dolomiti Superski. I went to Canazei in the middle of march last year. Although it hadn't been snowing for almost 6 weeks the slopes was in superb conditions each morning and every single slopes was open. There was in other words no moguls.

I would concur with Canazei, was there a few years back, it was great if you like well groomed slopes. Cheers |

Selva Gardena/Wolkensten (was: Snowboarding in Italy end of March)

It's a huge area, and it's part of [...] I would concur with Canazei, was there a few years back, it was great if you like well groomed slopes. Ok, thanks both! Hi, we finally decided to go to Wolkenstein (Val Gardena). We had overcast sky and fresh snow for the first two days, but absolutely stunning blue sky and sunshine for the last two - it was a blast. Snow cover was good, slopes were well groomed, but sunny ones started getting mushy towards noon. There even was some powder on the first two days. The whole area is huge, and the Sella Ronda (round trip around the Sella masiv) is a great trip (about 40 km, but reasonably easy to do in a day even on a board). There were very few boarders (at most 10% is my guess), and the resort is more geared towards skiers. However, the lift system is quite good, and even the cross-forrest slopes into the villages are wide enough that a reasonably competent boarder can enjoy them (I loved them this year, would have hated them two ears ago). It's not particularly cheap, but on the other hand, the scenery is amazing.
