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.
\nNever before this season my\u00a0attitude\u00a0has been\u00a0“let’s go and see” rather than “let’s ski” this or that run… the snow conditions up in the mountains have always been so variable that you have always needed to\u00a0be a little bit lucky, but most of all ready to live a potentially strenuous\u00a0adventure.<\/p>\n

Sci alpinismo. Traversata della Forcella del Bachet.<\/p><\/div>\n

Here you have a\u00a0gallery of images with the latest days on skis in March in the Dolomites, probably likely to be the last of season here. Some great off-piste ski runs\u00a0in Arabba like Sass Mesd\u00ec and Pizangol Ornella, the Sella massif ski traverse via Val Ciadin and Val Culea, the ski traverse\u00a0of Forcella del Bachet from Rifugio Fuciade (this time we had to carry the skis on the backpack from Fuciade\u00a0all the way to the top, same from Malga Ombretta almost down to the agriturismo in Malga Ciapela), a great ski mountaineering day \u00a0to Punta Penia after an overnight stay at the Rifugio Pian dei Fiacconi and\u00a0again in\u00a0Marmolada for another nice ski mountaineering tour to Forcella del Vernel, where\u00a0we enjoyed a soft steep descent thanks to a little snow fall from the night before.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
