Discovered – Skiing in Italy

The old order changeth, giving way to the new! This saying may have been coined to express a different situation, but it could well be describing something that I enjoy immensely! I have been an avid skiing enthusiast and have tried most of the ski slopes in Europe.

Like many others, I too thought that skiing was the exclusive offering of Switzerland. That is until I discovered the fantastic piste that is on offer in Italy. I work for a More

Skiing in untouched Italy

I have always appreciated people who can cut through the superfluous and get to the gist of the matter. I always trust their opinion as they don’t mince words or gloss over insignificant details.

When the summer months come along chances are many people who are not avid snowboarders would begin to think that they would now have to bring out their dal negro backgammon boards because it’s the end of the snow and snowboarding season and opportunities. Well that thought would be an incorrect one and as experienced snowboarders know other regions are great places to go during summer.

Italy For Snowboarding – Why Not?

In my opinion, if a person who is good at snowboarding can never make the mistake of judging things at face value.

How many times have you come off a slope grateful that you did not fall down and break your neck?

It happens to the best snowboarder in More
