Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking at doing this area next year, particularly want to do the "Hidden Valley" red down to Armenterola, anybody going this way, or wanting to team up.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

The Birthday Bash will be just round the corner (ie. 2 lifts fron Alta Badia) in Arabba in the first week of Feb, if that's any help?
Many on that are familiar with the hidden valley as well as many other 'classic day trips'

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Tankerdriver, don't worry, the buttons for booking haven't gone up yet, or indeed a dedicated thread, which will be in Events.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Welcome to snowHeads Tankerdriver! It's a great area but were you aware the Hidden Valley involves some long poleing stretches which may be a bit tedious on a snowboard? The longest bit is after you've been pulled along by the horses, where you're heading for the drag to get you back into the Sella Ronda. On the plus side the hut you get to at the end sells excellent Calimeros!

Do snowboarders take the horse tow? I've not seen any. Taxis take you further - less walking.

Yes, I've been on the horse tow when there's been some snowboarders on it. At the end of the horse tow I think it'd be quicker for them to get off their snowboard and walk to the draglift as the link is so flat.

I've usually seen the snowBoarderrs riding in the carriage.

@Alastair Pink, yes, it is flat and they'd be walking. So were quite a few skiers! But if you get a taxi it's less walking whether you're carrying a board or skis. (At least boarders' boots are more comfortable!)

I did it twice on the bash last year and felt the aches from the cross country bits at the end. The Great War Ring is a fabulous tour though. The route over Civet ta and Cinque Torre more spectacular than the hidden valley.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Do you have any ideas on cost etc and if there are any spaces left? Am keen to go.

@Tankerdriver, all the spaces are free on next year's Birthday Bash as the booking buttons aren't up yet! Keep an eye out on snowEvents for a brand new thread titled S12BB: Birthday Bash Arabba or similar. For an idea on costs, take a look at last year's thread.
