Cerro Catedral – The Summer Snowboarding Option

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. One of the less talked about locations for snowboarding during the summer months is More

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 checked out a slope and felt that it was going to be very easy only to discover that it was the toughest run in your life? How many times have you come off a slope grateful that you did not fall down and break your neck?

Snowboarding in Italy

There is more to Italy than fashion and food. In fact, Italy offers some fabulous runs, which has, so far, been underrated by the snowboarding community. It is also one of the cheapest countries to visit.

Most of the alpine activities are located in the north and it’s here that you can find some excellent snowboarding resorts. Italy is about snowboarding in style with some of the top places being San Martino Di Castrozzo, Canazei in Trentino and Courmayeur. Quite More

His Best Friend

I was zooming downhill, putting in a few fancy twists and twirls, when I remembered my friend Paul’s recent problem. He is an avid dog-lover, and always has a mutt at home. Many times in the past I have had to console him with several pints down the pub when his latest canine friend had sadly kicked the bucket.

Well, when he goes on holiday in Britain he takes the dog with him in the car, and usually chooses self-catering More

Trip to Africa for a change

I think everyone finds a sport or activity that they realise for them is the number one thing they have to devote a huge amount of their time to whilst not doing all the other things in life that are separate from it such as working, eating and sleeping. Every time I get some time away from work the only thing I can think about doing is snowboarding. Some would call me a thrill seeker or an extreme sports activist More

Shooting you board

One thing I’ve learnt the hard way whilst boarding in Italy is to make sure I have the best international roaming sim cards available for my phone before I go out there. I’ve been stung so badly by roaming charges and unexpected tariffs in the past that I always ensure I’ve scoped out the best deals before I head off to the slopes. Why? Well, like all modern snow boarders it’s no fun unless I can share the experience with More

Italy is used to being underrated.

There is more to Italy than the food, suits and leather and many more of the thing that are best associated with the country. Italy is big in diverse aspects of life but continues to be underrated. We cannot mention all the examples here but a huge one will surely set the ball rolling. Italians are a huge fan of football while their country is a big footballing nation that is not accorded the respect it deserves. The Italian league More

The meaning of the word Italy means calf. There is also a history quite interesting attached to it. The Italian tribes in the South of the country used the sign of Bull as their symbol and that’s how the name Italy was derived.

The next big thing

What does a Hybrid car and Italian ski resorts have in common I hear you ask? Well they are the next big thing and they are going to change the way we do things. Many people brushed aside the idea of hybrid cars and were not interested in change; the same is true of the Italian ski scene. I have been to many good resorts across Europe before, but not until I arrived in Italy did I see how things More
