 Poster: A snowHead
|
We are looking to return to Arabba 1st week in March, having fallen in love with the Dolomites last year.What's your experience of conditions for Arabba/Sella Ronda in early March? 
Great forum btw. I've been using it as a guide for a while now and finally decided to join you folks !

Maloney~888, I may well be back around then as well!
As to conditions, who can say - the weather gods will let us know as time progresses. But conditions at the start of Feb were very good and I think something serious would be needed to ruin it all between now and then.

Maloney~888, I have been based in Arabba for the first two weeks of March for the last 4 years and generally the conditions have been good. The current forcasts seem indicate colder weather for the rest of Feb so things are looking ok. I am in Arabba for two weeks again from the 2nd March with Colletts.

Maloney~888, welcome. I go this Saturday to Arabba for a week and actually worried there may be too much snow. The forecast looks snowy over the weekend and into early next week. Last year at this time the snow was quite thin although still skiable but we had warm spring like days. On balance I prefer lots of snow but would like to see some Sun
btw, if you've not been to the Sporthotel before then I hope you like it. We think it's great and it always gets good reviews from most people.

That's all encouraging thanks. We visited Arabba last January and the snow base was quite thin compared to now, but we still had great skiing all the way around the Sella Ronda.
We stayed at Hotel Evaldo (which we highly recommend). Looking forward to being closer to the 2 lifts and experiencing the Sporthotel. Would also like to do the Hidden Valley. Conditions didn't allow last year.

Looks like I will be based in San Cassiano that week (starting Sun 3 Mar). Would be good to meet up with any other snowHeads during that time if you're interested.

I'll be there first week of March with 5 others, skiing off-piste (2 days as group and 6 days with guide). Not staying in the actual village so cheaper (Cesa Padon - v good Hotel) but they have a minibus to take people in and back free, by arrangement, the first 2 days and then our guide has a minibus after that.
