 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking to squeeze an extra week in. Solo guy, mid 60s, confident intermediate skier, slowing down a bit.
House trained.
Prefer good snow, decent accommodation, catered but flexible on these things….except the good snow.
Don’t mind paying extra for solo room, shared twin fine, not really into quads with bunk beds and 4 per bathroom scene.
Usual destinations Tignes/Val D, 3Vs, Dolomites, Arlberg, Paradiski.
Like travelling, so sorting own arrangements to get somewhere is no problem. Can travel on or between any of the dates above.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I intend going around those dates. Not yet booked. However, I am going back to San Vigilio because I (deliberately) left my skis and boots there when I was last there, and i also have a week or so left on my lift pass for the Dolomites. I am 65. Piste skier. Most runs are fine including blacks but definitely starting to take a break down some of the longer ones.
This might / might not fit in with your plans.
This is what I think of the resort https://www.snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=158987&highlight=san+vigilio
I don't have dates booked / flights booked but am intending to fly Manchester or Edinburgh to Munich (most likely) or possibly Milan / Verona and then train. Leaving UK sometime around this weekend-ish and returning about a week or so later.
I do intend to do the usual Sella Ronda, etc but I have not done this relying on the ski bus before.
Possible snags :
I am pretty well committed to San Vigilio, staying at www.mareo.com which is well located, but not the cheapest. decent quality accommodation. Self catering. I aim to eat out about 50% of the time.
A car is useful to get to other areas but I plan on travelling by train this trip.
It is not a particularly high area and I expect decent skiing in the mornings after overnight freezing, but getting soft in the afternoons and maybe an earlier finish than might be planned.
Whilst I reckon I can get on with most people, I am more and more convinced that i am turning into / have turned into a "grumpy old git"

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

@JHS, I'll take a look, thanks. I've only had 1 day skiing at Kronplatz, which started and ended at San Vigilio and was quite impressed overall. In a week, would also want to access the areas on the Sella Ronda. Especially Alta Badia and Val Gardena, from San Vigilio.
I've had a few interesting looking offers for the big Tarentaise areas. Not had chance to look closely at those yet. One factor will be the likely snow conditions and weather forecast for next week.
