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 :-)

James Bond and the Seceda

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
The Seceda piste going down to Santa Christina in the Dolomites is often referred to as the James Bond run. Why is that, was it in a film? If so, which one and which scene? I've had a quick look but can't find anything. Os it just because it feels like it should of been in a Bond film.

It's an urban myth probably started by British ski reps.

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

Cortina d’Ampezzo’s Socrepes ski area is the one in For Your Eyes Only. Full James Bond Nerd page here. http://welove2ski.com/james-bond-skiing

Quite a few years back I competed in the Olympic stadium in Cortina d'Ampezzo, lovely wooden affair, nice rink. There was a Bond scene shot at the stadium …..

A lot of the Bond ski scenes were filmed on the slopes, by the bobsleigh run, and on the ski-jump stadium.

I thought parts of the 'chase' scene in For Your Eyes Only were filmed on the Seceda run due to lack of snow in Cortina..?

We were staying in the same hotel in Cortina D'Ampezzo, the Crystal Palace, as some of the crew filming For Your Eyes Only, we were invited to some of the night shots, I have an abiding memory of Willy Bogner skiing backwards down the bobsleigh run holding a full size camera filming one of the stunt men skiing down the run, I'm fairly certain there were about nine of them for the various scenes.

If that's the case, there may be more to it than just myth. I'm out there in 2 weeks, I'll ask Werner at the Curona Hutte. wink
