Yes, it is still ( just about! ) a resort but is only good for 1/2 days skiing. Was there in 2000 and it is more of a wintersports resort rather than skiing. It is in the dolomites area just a few miles from the town of Trento. Yo can drive from there to other " proper " ski resorts like Madonna di Campiglio, Forgarida, Marivella ( all of these three btw are linked ). It is a couple of hours drive though!.
As a total beginners resort it's OK having just one hill with just 15kms of pisted runs; resort height is 1350m and altitude 1300m - 2100m; stay at the albergo Monte Bondone.
Have a look at the Solos brochure as it features there - www.solosholidays.co.uk

I skied there about 3 years ago as part of a road trip/tour based in Trento. Had a great time staying in a big posh hotel in the town (dirt cheap compared to ski resorts) - lovely old town and cheap food and drink too.
We skied at Madonna di Campiglio, Folgaria (or was it Folgarida - er, whichever one is near Trento...) plus Monte Bondone. We really enjoyed Monte B - you drive up to the ski area and have amazing views over Trento and the valley, which are about 7 or 8,000 feet below. There's one very long red run with a big vertical (served by a fast quad) plus a few shorter runs and slow lifts. We had great snow & the area was good fun for a day.

I skied there on a school trip back in the 80s too. We were actually staying in Andalo and had day trips to both Monte Bodone and Val di Non.

paulm,
You can ski the area on SuperSKiRama pass - this covers all the resorts in our area, or just get a pass for Monte Bondone.
There are only 5 chair lifts but the pistes are OK (only been over a couple of times). All the slopes have snow making machines so you should be OK if you go for a day out. It's quite a long link, if you not familiar with the area, from Folgarida - you can't ski from here over there without taking free bus for a short way. Most people skiing the (few) pistes of Monte Bondone tend to be staying around Madonna and take a short excursion over to have a look and ski a new area. You can get full details of all the resorts in the SuperSKiRama area here

Mollerski, bizarrely yes. We were from a 'posh' school in Cheshire and there was another school party there, very noisy, with West Country accents!

Mollerski, sadly no. I didn't know her very well, she was the year above me, we just happened to share a room for that particular school ski trip. She's probably on Facebook or something but I daren't go near it myself.

If so, I can only apologise, I was very inexperienced at the time.
