Couple of new lifts for next year
Antercrëp (Padon I) - the slow 2 man chair up to Padon, from the Arabba, side is being replaced with a 6 person one
Braia Fraida (above Corvara) is also being replaced with a 6 person one

The question is...how long will it stick around??

Is it unusual to get snow this early?

@luigi, we walked through the main high street of Colfosco and past Hotel Capella and noted it looked very fancy!

Here's a photo of the old Braia Fraida chairlift (installed in 1994):
I think Braia Fraida means something like "cold arse" in Ladin (at least that's what one of Igor Tavella's videos said). 
If the new chairlift has a canopy or even (luxury!) heated seats then perhaps the old name won't be so appropriate in future!

it would be good if they upgraded the two lifts between Pralongi and Cherz (Vizza & Masserei?) they're really slow with no heating, a cü cailt would be nice!

Alastair -- Ski Resort Info indicates that the new lift will indeed have seat heating and a 'bubble' (canopy?) - they just need to do the same with the Masarei (Misery) one !!

re the languages which I find fascinating...
One of my instructors who I've used for a couple of years was born and raised in Arabba. I asked him how they become fluent in three languages (Italian, Ladin and German). He told me that when he was at school the language used was on a three week cycle. So e.g. week 1 only speak Italian in all lessons, week 2 only Ladin, week 3 German. Also they speak different languages with different people so he'd chat to one liftie in German because they've know each other forever and always speak in German, the next in Ladin etc
anyway, fingers crossed for good snow and hoping February isn't as warm as last year.

Now... The @Alastair Pink twerk is exactly the sort of thing that would become a snowHeads legend

The Maserei is still quite new. I think circa 2010 it was a double chair or tbar it may be too windy for a canopy ?
