 Poster: A snowHead
|
evening all,
I have had to just cancel 5 days in the Dollies due to a nasty health scare on saturday so couldnt fly out yesterday (all good now btw)
looking to rebook for the last week in March
I would very much like to go back to the Dollies or should be sack that idea and go somewhere else (not big fans of france but could be persauded) We were staying in Moena with a veiw to skiing Val di fassa, latemar and san pelligrino.
I have slushy snow and feb half last year was horrid (which is why i'm so upset to be missing the -10C and bluebirds right now)
any thoughts would be very welcome esp on views of eastern italy

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

If you want unslushy snow in the European Alps in late-March, you need to be above 2000m.
Somewhere like Passo Fedaia, Cervinia, Val Thorens, etc.

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

Personally, I wouldn't go to the Dollies after the 2nd week in March. I've done the 3rd week once and if was a slush-fest..
Go High my son, go high.....

Just a thought - Arabba's north facing slopes might be Ok : Or ski AM, relax PM

Spring does often come early in the Dolomites, though you can often get fresh snow at altitude in early Spring, the valleys are often in a freeze-thaw cycle.
Arabba generally holds its snow the best on its N-facing slopes and Passo San Pellegrino is high, but I'd be tempted at this stage to choose somewhere even higher like Cervinia, or somewhere with good late season snow record in Austria, like Ischgl, Zurs, Obergurgl, Obertauern...which won't come cheap!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Val Thorens would be my suggestion. You've got plenty of high altitude slopes and if the conditions are good, or even in the morning, there's a massive playground to explore.

Zermatt is a bit like the Dollies in as much as it is picturesque with great mountain restaurants, it also has great height for later skiing holidays.
Doesn't come cheap though.
