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 firm that deals in compression clothing and recently had gone to Italy on a business trip. Work done, I chanced upon a mention of skiing in the northern parts of Italy. Thoroughly surprised, I decided to make a quick trip to check out this new discovery and was thrilled to bits at what I found. There are many excellent runs and they are a lot cheaper too! It’s that unique location of the northern slopes of Italy that bring in the excellent snow that is just perfect for skiing.

In fact, some of the runs are a lot better than what is on offer in Europe. Italy has been discreetly tucked away and is only now emerging as a popular skiing destination. Lifts were not as plush as the ones in Europe, but then any enthusiast will choose a good slope over a lift! I mean as long as it gets there in safety, how does it matter? I am in no way implying they are dilapidated cages that might crash if you take a deep breath. But change is under way as, I understand, heavy investments have been made in this sector to bring it at par with other leading ski destinations. You get a good bang for your buck here. And you must have guessed it by now; you also get some deadly Italian food!
