After the two good weeks together with the Ski Club Great Britain, the snow situation in the Dolomites was getting more critical in some ways. The temperature was getting higher, the snow on south slopes disappeared visibly around 2000 meters, and a warm Fohn wind blew constantly from the north. Never before this season my attitude has been “let’s go and see” rather…
March always delivers great emotions and skiing in the Dolomites, even if this season has been pretty dry like I’ve never seen before. During the Dolomites ski traverse I think I had seen it all… snow, strong wind, then rain up to 2000 meters, and again strong wind from the North. The weather for the following week was forecasted to…

Who would have ever thought of a second year in a row without snow in the Dolomites in early February?

After so many “Eat & Drink” days on the ski slopes in the Dolomites, finally I moved to Austria for a few days to get some energy back and to have some proper skiing.

Lots of snow finally arrived in the Northern Alps, in Abruzzo and all the way down to Mount Etna in Sicily. Unfortunately in the South of the Alps, including the Dolomites,it’s been still very cold and dry.

February and March are the perfect months for off piste skiing and ski touring.
