Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. When you register, you get our free weekly -ish snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Boardski , Not a big resort, both for skiing and nightlife. Had a good time there this year, but we were only skiing there for two days, and well and truly skiied the whole resort. The level of skier is important as the jewel in the Madesimo crown is not for the fainthearted, the Canalone. This run is about 5k in lenght, unpisted, and only open when the weather permits. We were lucky and got on it one day, skiing on crust, ice and powder! Nightlife restricted as mentioned, could not find a proper pub. Drinking in hotels of course and there probably is a pub somewhere. Weekends the place goes madder when the locals pop up from Milan. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? Cymru , in those two days are also included the variations to the Canalone? The 'little horse' cavallino and the the chamois Camosci Anyway, boardski , last season on the cable car I 'met' I just overheard him talking to his friends in fact an Englishman working and living in Milan, who was planning to move to Madesimo and tele-commute from there to work. Sorry, don't know his name. When there, keep your ears open. He should be local enough by now to maybe able to guide you around the resort. New Topic Post Reply. Snow Snow Snow!

No, this is Italy. And nor am I going skiing. It was, in fact, a series of events conspiring against me that had prompted my Alpine wander. Urgent repairs to a bridge on the access road had forced the closure of the resort on the grounds of health and safety , so I found myself at a loose end in a village where life — normally — revolves around skiing. I started my Alpine meander at Lago Azzurro, before striding through the forests, over rivers, and negotiating icy pistes as I went. It had been a while since the last snowfall, so the snow — crisp on top, fluffy and powdery underneath — was well tracked. Not by skiers, but by the paw prints of small mountain animals — hares, foxes, and marmottes — which prowl once darkness falls. I paused to chat, and admire the high mountain couloirs that litter the impending jagged peaks. I joked with my companions as we plodded along, sharing tales of high-octane mountain experiences. This day was never going to be the basis of such tales, but it proved an opportunity to reconnect with the mountain, and appreciate the power they behold. Even in the quietest weeks of the season the distant whirl of pylon wheels and chairlift engines pollute the air: but not this day. Sadly, whilst the rest of the Alps were covered in snow, this small corner of Italy found itself denuded of snow by December, after hefty falls in the autumn. However, all was not lost, as the limited number of open slopes — just seven — proved to be challenging and immaculately groomed. The red and black pistes from the top of the Cima Sole are both used by the Italian ski team for training, whilst the adjacent blue run offers a more gentle descent of the mountain. The resort is famous for its 3km Canalone, itinerary black piste, which descends from the top of the Groppera cable car, and begins with a narrow, steep gully, before winding its way down the mountain face. Following fresh snowfalls the run is a powder skiers dream, quickly becoming tracked, and what remains is a dramatic mogul field. Three lifts jut out of the village, and most accommodations are within an easy walk of these. A number of easier nursery slopes can be found near the Montalto chairlift, whilst those more accustomed to aerials and jumps are catered for by a large snowpark at the top of the main gondola. However long you stay, dinner at the Dogana restaurant is an absolute must. The magnificently kitsch year-old converted house is dimly lit, exuding charm and quirkiness in equal measure. A dangling washing up glove above the door greets you, whilst, the equally peculiar downstairs bar is manned by a mannequin. Local dishes are served up in vast quantities, all washed down with regional red wine. I staggered home, admiring the lofty peaks, lit by the moon. In fact, as I write, on my return to England, the forecast predicts snow in the coming days and plummeting temperatures. I could go to Venice, and the canals would always be there. Snow is far more interesting, and at least now I have an excuse to return and ski the remainder. Ben Clatworthy was a guest of Momentum Ski momentumski.
