The last couple of days have been a bit cooler which has helped the snow a bit but the sun is back out with a vengeance today.
Having said that, the pisteurs are busy bringing in truckloads of snow from where ever it is that they hoard it over the winter and dumping it on the lower slopes to keep them open, so I think most slopes will stay open for the next couple of weeks. They are working really hard this year.

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

Pistes are still good in the mornings, after 2pm it's getting slushy, especially on any south-facing slopes.
The Marmolada glacier is perfect at the moment although the piste at the very bottom down to the cablecar gets cut up by about 10:30am, no queues at all

Just back from Arabba yesterday, conditions despite the best efforts of the fantastic posters are pretty grim.
The North facing Porta Vescovo side is where the best skiing was, the Belvedere area was also OK until lunch then it was just slush. Marmolada was excellent but getting there was anything but and anything south facing is now manufactured and gets slushy very quickly.
Their is more snow on the way and temperatures are getting colder but this is all irrelevant as I have been told from a good source that the entire area will be closed by Tuesday.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Perfect conditions today, spoilt only by my hangover which meant I couldn't get up the mountain till 2pm
Temps have dropped, we have fresh snow and there is no one on the piste. Slightly slushy under 2000m but nothing like it was last week. Looks like the last week of this season will be a good one.

Some slopes and lifts are still open this week according to Ski Dolomiti website. Also confirmed that Sella Ronda is closed although connection between Val Gardena, Val Di Fassa and Arraba is still open. Looks like Alta Badia is closed hence why the Sella Ronda is not open all the way round.

One of the best days this season - after 24 hours of snowfall we woke up to blue skies.
Arabba, Belvedere, Campitello and Gardena all in great condition today with empty pistes and the off-piste on the Marmolada was probably the best run I've done this season.
