gorjulin, Welcome to  - I/ve been to PT and did really like it - where are you staying? According to Snow Report, everything is open and levels are pretty good, but seems they've got some sleety stuff at the moment - temps need to drop a bit (like most places!)

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

Hi Anniepen, thanks for the welcome !
Staying at the Orchidea, although a few choices down the list, it looks ok , I left it late to book and everywhere was filling fast for that week, you could get anywhere for the week before or after, which wasn't an option for us I'm afraid. It had me wondering why so I researched and found that there is a big charity slalom race day/weekend on the 10th march, so as we arrive just after lunch time we might have some entertainment on our 1st day after collecting our hire gear.
I just can't believe my bad luck........ I "found" Tonale about 6 years ago in a brochure and thought I've got to go there, nice and unpopular, history of tons of snow and cheap Italian prices. We are emigrating to Australia in 4 weeks and I thought,from some of the house sale profit I'll treat my daughter and myself to a last week of European skiing. I thought with the weather the way it is I'll have to get somewhere high, Oh! I know.....Passo Tonale. What do I get ? Full resort, low snow levels and I bet the locals have hiked up the price in the last few seasons as it's become more popular !!!
So looking forward to it though !!
Looks like it's going to be a different type of boarding for me in future years, the one that goes with sun and surf !
Cheers.

gorjulin,
Orchidea is a good hotel. Stayed there in 2002. There will be plenty of snow in Tonale. Recommend the trip to Madonna for the day

Went to tonale last april, it was excellent.
Snow depth is decent at the moment.

loffers, Snow depth IS decent, however If you look at the webcams on Adamelloski (google it) you'll see the coverage is actually zero in some places!!! At least the white stuff is on the runs.
I think you'll agree, if you check out the webcams, It's probably a lot different than last year. However, you were there in APRIL which IS quite late, so maybe not.
Would like to know what you think.
Cheers.

gorjulin,
PASSO TONALE: Last snowed: 25 Feb 2007
Fresh snow: 10cm
Lifts open: 18 out of 18
Snow Depths
Lower slopes: 60cm
Upper slopes: 90cm
Piste Information
On piste: Fresh
Off piste: Tracked
Resort runs: Good
More Information: Very good piste conditions, best at top
As you can see things look fine in Passo Tonale, you should get some good boarding / skiing.
Your right about last year tho, even in april when I was there, snow depths where much more deeper that they are now.

loffers, Looking good!!!
JimiHendrix, that makes me feel a lot better !! Although there is plenty of snow on the runs and the skiing will be good, I really love the snowy scenery. Especially as I'm off to sub-tropical Bribane a week after we return from Tonale, I've got to get some fresh snowy memories to keep me going !!
Cheers
