Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Before I booked Selva I found a thread on here which detailed a number of different ski routes, hidden valley, marmaloda etc with lifts/runs to take. Had a good search but can't find it. Does anyone have the link for it? Thanks

A carpet of white all over the Dolomites this morning...the brown meadows have been banished, there's sugar dusting on the peaks, everywhere looks pretty and the artificial pistes have been freshened with natural snow.

Starkly visible when comparing the webcam images of Colfosco from this morning with yesterday's archive pics here...

Hopefully they'll pick up more as the other systems work their way through in the week!! snowHead

Yes, unlikely that Forcella Staunies will be seeing action anytime soon! Laughing

More is definitely needed in the Dolomites, the thin covering today will soon melt back in a few days on S-facing slopes if more doesn't arrive.

Still, it looks a whole lot prettier than the huge swathes of brown with the tiny white ribbons of man-made.

Looks to me from the GFS ensembles that the same amount again should fall on each of tomorrow and early Weds. Some but by no means all of the ensembles are then predicting quite a bit more for Sunday.

Good visibility after today, lightish winds and staying cold until Friday. Most lifts and three quarters of all the runs appear to be open.

The 10th and 11th still look interesting. At least half of the GFS ensembles are now (06z) predicting what looks like well in excess of 10cm

The good news is that these modest amounts of snowfall are not disrupting access or closing lifts or runs.

Heading out to Ponte di Legno (Passo Tonale) on Sat 9th. Anyone have any updates on snowfall over the last few days ?

At least the mountain looks white on webcams now.

I keep checking the ski club forecast and what an emotional rollercoaster that is !

One minute there's nearly a meter of snow coming only for it to be cruelly snatched away next time I check.

I know that the SCGB forecast is known for optimism, it is currently showing about 60cms from 9th - 11th which will do me nicely Smile or maybe half that amount ?

I cant imagine a great deal of off piste to be had with rocks and stuff to cover but perhaps with a bit of skinning some first tracks may be achievable?
Hell I'm almost starting to feel some enthusiasm at last Smile Better go and check my kit,

@scarbski, I always go on 1/4 of the forecast or less. By the time you've taken the over egging factor, followed by the compression of the snow once it lands, 1/4 is about right

@PaulC1984, Last weekend's forecast was bang on, apart from Bergfex (ECM I think). I really hope tomorrow's run doesn't wind it back. Me and our GP have been obsessing over snow for Dolomites for ages!

@scarbski, Ponte di Legno is a fab little resort. Sounds like you've been there before so you probably know refugio Corno d'Aola. IMO serves the best wild mushroom ravioli in the Alps - or it did. It's been 10 years since I was there but soooooo memorably good.

@jzBun, Thanks for the tip, not been before but will certainly aim to try the wild mushroom ravioli.

We will be skiing with guides so hoping they will find some of the best snow (and lunch) on offer.. looking at the temps a nice warm dinner stop will be needed .

come on snow !!

We're planning to have a few days in Cortina towards the end of the month but it still doesn't look too promising. Has anyone skied Kronplatz and can shed any light on where to stay as the conditions do look better there? Ta . . .

I think it's looking like a fair amount over the weekend and then cold temperatures when they will, no doubt make a shed load of snow. Whether or not teh natural dump will be enough to go off piste, I'm not sure.
I'm looking to ski with some folk on Friday 22nd and Sat 23rd - before the pre birthdya bash, if anyones interested. I'm flying into Venice early Friday morn and have a cheap overnight hotel booked in Bolzano.

I'm probably looking at a day in Flacade and a day in Cortina during the Alleghe week too.

Kronplatz is essentially one large dome with lots of pistes coming off it. It has the slickest of ski lift systems (heated seats!) and is excellently maintained. I have stayed a couple of times at Hotel Diamant with Mountainsun Ltd which is in San Martino. This is a spur coming off the main Kronplatz ski area. Mountainsun offer v reasonable rates, Diamant has decent swimming pool and sauna, & jacuzzi. Staff well organized and will meet you at Venice & Innsbruck. The staff will take you to the Piculin lift in the morning (3min ride) and pick you up more or less on demand. There is a free public ski bus (20min) which connects with the bigger Alta Badia ski area and the Sella Ronda. Other villages to stay are Brunico and San Vigilio di Marebbe.
