 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Low prices have us on the verge of committing to a crafty pre-Christmas week in Madonna di Campiglio December 14-21. But we're worried about conditions so early in the season. Historical snowfall records for December seem to show ample coverage, but the figures I saw are monthly and I presume most of the white stuff appeared in the second half (or toward the end) of December.
So... too high a risk of false economy? Has anyone visited Madonna/Foldarida/Pinzolo pre-Christmas and can weigh in?

We live in bormio which is not to far from Madonna di Campiglio and we normally have ample snow by end of November.
Hope this helps.

peter42, even last year, which I understand was pretty poor across the Alps?
We were in Bad Gastein last year for a week over New Year's, and it was disappointingly warm and cloudy/foggy.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

idlehands, We managed to start skiing the 3rd weekend of november and by mid december most runs where open.
Bormio has a very good snow making network and so does Madonna di Campiglio.
We had reasonable weather mostly cold with blue sky over new year. I hope for the same or better this year.

idlehands, personally, I would never consider booking anywhere so early in the season. I just don't think it is worth the considerable risk.
However, MdC does have great snowmaking and almost glacier skiing up at Groste, so I really think you will probably be OK.

The Dolomites are often the area which misses snow which goes most other places (I had to cancel an off-piste holiday in January a couple of years ago). However looking at the Ski Club of GB historic snow reports (not available to non-members) it looks like you'll be OK (especially if it a piste holiday).
