I had to clear about 5mm of snow off my car when I set off from the Usteria Posta this morning to drive back to the UK. Quite heavy snow over the Brenner Pass and in Innsbruck and some over the Fernpass in Austria, but no snow beyond that and warmer once I got into Germany. Will be having an overnight stop in Saarbrücken then 2pm ferry from Dunkirk back to Dover tomorrow. A good trip!

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

@surferrosa, Nice. Igor knows about snowHeads so when you get there mention that you saw this thread about his hotel on this forum. Who knows, if I stay there again I might get a free drink or two as commission!  Actually talking of a free drink when I checked out Igor kindly offered me a complementary Haygrappa (Heuschnapps) which I'd tried a day or so previously after the evening meal. As the name suggests it's a distilled grappa/schnapps spirit made (in some way) with hay, and unlike some schnapps was very smooth tasting.

@Alastair Pink, quick question, did you use the ski buses from badia to Corvara and La Villa ? if so were they frequent and reliable ?

@richb67, no, I had my car with me so the day I skied at Kronplatz I drove there from the Usteria Posta. I was going to drive to the lift at Piculin (which is nearer than Kronplatz itself but links in to the Kronplatz skiing), but it had closed the previous day so I drove all the way to Kronplatz. This link may be of use: https://www.kronplatz.com/en/the-kronplatz/skilifts-slopes/ski-lifts
Edit: to answer your specific question about La Villa and Corvara obviously you can ski from Badia village (where the Usteria Posta is located) over to La Villa and then on to Corvara.

thanks, yes I've always had a car so have never used the buses, but it's a group trip so some folks will need them. There always seemed to be a lot but I can't find details online!

Technically it's a horizontal lift rather than skiing.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

thanks but this seems to be the regular bus rather than the skibus  the later have buses that just run Armentorla, Corvara, Colfosco, La Villa, Badia etc, maybe they'll appear on this list when the timetables are updated, thanks anyway.
La Villa seems a safer bet for the group.
