 Poster: A snowHead

I am looking at booking a mid-late March week away in the Sella Ronda. Has anyone first hand experience of what the conditions are 'likely' to be like at this time of year in this area. Not asking for historic conditions, I can find that myself and I am not asking for a long range weather forecast. Just has anyone been at this time of year and what was it like, conditions, bars & restaurants still open etc.

went two years in a row late in march about 2 years ago, and both times every slope was still going strong..even had a good dump of snow..there are a couple of problem zones on really warm sunny days where you have to deal with slush mountains and lots of fallen over people. But generally most slopes were in pretty good condition and the joy of the sella is you can always find a good slope and aviod the bad ones, plus its fairly empty (depending on easter) plus having a nice apre ski in the warm sun is great.

Was half contemplating a trip in that general direction in March myself, instead of or as well as s8BB. Got a couple of potential options. Won't be booking anything just yet. Gotta wait for the boss to get back from 3 weeks' leave, and don't like asking for time off too soon after I got back from a holiday either.
As for conditions. I would guess similar to last s7BB. Warm, but still plenty of snow to go around.

Pretty much as I thought, looks like 2 trips to the Sella Ronda are on the cards for next year.
I can put myself a package together using Colletts hosted apartments (an apartment with breakfast and evening meal in a local restaurant) I remember seeing them and they are in the centre of Arabba. includes hosting and transfers, KLM flight from Liverpool is cheap. Comes in at a just over £500, not bad I think.
Yep just sent them an email and I await confirmation of availability.

Spent a week around the Sella Ronda at the end of March/beginning of April last year. Blog report and photos here if you're interested.

rob@rar, Interesting report, have to agree about your observations regarding the pisteurs, as someone who loves corduroy I appreciate the effort. I was on this years birthday bash and it hadn't snowed for weeks and conditions then were great considering.
